[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is heading to an ivy unhooked so I say this as someone whose kid wrote good essays: The essays- esp supplementals -are a system that can be gamed. Getting rid of them makes perfect sense. They do not provide that much info on a kid bc of heavy editing but mostly bc kids who are applying to highly rejective schools either figure out how to write the essays or don’t. This is a game and waste of our kids’ time. Get rid of them!!!!! [/quote] I agree- many colleges are all getting rid of supplemental essays because there’s so much cheating going on. Testing is the same with parents forking out thousands of dollars for test prep. My guess is schools are now re-evaluating whether essays and test scores submitted are truly indicative of students that are more prepared for rigorous college courses. [/quote] Essays add nothing to the applicant’s package[/quote]
