[quote=Anonymous][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] Seriously? This is cheating. It is clear that this is the student's application and should be the student's work. Pretty sly to try to justify cheating because they did not make the app cheat proof.[/quote]
