[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand why any kid needs to use AI at all to write this essay. Not Grammarly, not Claude, not anything. Just write the essay and ask another human to proofread or give feedback.[/quote]

Because kids are applying to 15 schools, which means they have 30+ essays to write. This is on top of doing day to day school work for 6 APs (need to get an A — no A-), leadership in a club, volunteer work outside of school, varsity sport, etc. These kids are overwhelmed. [/quote]

Or, you could just let them be the kid they’re physically and logistically able to be without relying on AI to do their thinking for them. If they’re cutting corners on writing essays, I can only assume they’re cutting corners on some of the other stuff, too. Not so much overwhelmed, as “overwhelmed.”[/quote]

The problem I have with it is that schools create a system that begs to be gamed. Example:

The Why Us essay- kids in “the know” are told to dig into the school’s website/online info to post things very specific about the school. Such a farce bc that is NOT why the kid wants the school. That is simply giving the school what they want in the answer but it is absolutely not genuine.

Well of course the schools want to admit people who genuinely want to come there. If your kid’s genuine answer doesn’t convey that then maybe they shouldn’t apply there. Cut one off your list and now there are fewer essays to write![/quote]

You misunderstand. A kid who wants to go to NYU because it is a prestigious school located in Manhattan is a kid who genuinely wants to go to NYU. But kids are trained not to say that in their “why NYU” essay. They are supposed to say they want to study some random esoteric subject with some professor they’ve never met, who may transfer to a different college before they get there. [/quote]

Every straight dude wants to have sex with Sidney Sweeney.

She needs a better reason than “you are super hot and I want to sleep with you”.

“But I REALLY WANT TO” also not a great answer.

You’re trying to romance the school, get some game.

Thankfully, NYU no longer has the “Why NYU”, it has been replaced by one about your DC builds bridges with others.[/quote]
