[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The essay is just marketing your kid. Whether you choose to out-source the marketing or handle it in-house is your choice.[/quote] Exactly. I write marketing copy for my day job, so I helped DS frame his story, polish the language, etc. He was a recruited athlete, so the essay was just window dressing.[/quote] Exactly. If colleges were really interested in making sure that essays were written entirely by the applicants without any outside influence, they would make them part of a timed exam. But they aren't interested in that - they could give a flying F what kind of writer a kid is or isn't.[/quote]
