[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people making graphs suggesting essays are something other than merit?[/quote] I'm not commenting on the graphs, but regarding essays: The essays may convey some notion of merit, but it is a far more ambiguous notion of merit. Two different evaluators may score the same essay quite differently. Furthermore, an essay-writing evaluation would also be heavily influenced the writer's ability to sway the reader with their writing, a skill which some might not consider to be of most prominent importance for admissions to a STEM school. Finally, essay scores would be influenced by native English speaking ability, which is not a metric of merit.[/quote] In other words, it is much more difficult to “crack the code” on essay writing. 😄[/quote]
