[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges expect teens to write like teens. AOs are not looking for essays ghost written by parents in their forties and fifties. Do yourself a favor and find some of those "50 successful Harvard admissions essays" type books or look up the best admissions essays included in various alumni magazines at top colleges. Read the essays and you'll be astonished. It is rare to read one that looks like the polished writing of a future Nobel Prize in literature winner. They are kids. They write like kids. [/quote] Haven't read those, but I've read a bunch of the NYT ones and the topics were surprisingly bad. One was about judging people based on their car bumper stickers![/quote]
