[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Edited or re-written? Or just plain written by someone else? I know people who send their kid’s essays to a service and they basically re-write. It’s ridiculous.

But then the college application process is ridiculous and has spawned so many consultants, etc. Are any applications real anymore?[/quote]

FYI.
The going rate in some private school circles for a polished, fully edited (ready-to-go) rewrite of your Common App draft (draft should be personalized with ample detail and no more than 500 words over the limit) is $1500. 
And $1000-2000 for a full suite of supplemental essays (depending on # of essays) for a T30 school. 
Add in the Activities and Additional info, plus help with a brag sheet for LOR, and it is $5000 for 1 school. 
Would you pay that?
NYC though.[/quote]
I wouldn’t, but it’s also not for just one school. Everything but the supplemental is the same for every school. Even if you plan to include tweaks to tailor the common app material to each school, that’s something that could be done on your own quite easily. There’s no need for a full overhaul for each application. [/quote]
