[quote=Anonymous]PP, I agree. I think that people don't understand that lots of schools don't ask for more than the main essay, and even if they do request a supplemental one, it's not that hard for a kid to write a few paragraphs on a school they've researched and that fits what they're looking for. In my DC's case, he applied to five Jesuit SLACs, all located in urban settings, in addition to several other colleges. It was pretty easy for him to tweak the supplemental essays for each very similar school. Interestingly, he got into one that was more "selective" than others that waitlisted him, so had he taken that reach off his list, he would have lost out on that opportunity. Merit money outcomes were all over the place too.

I also don't understand how anyone can suggest with a straight face that a student who has attended a high school for almost four years and bonded with the students and teachers should suddenly leave in their senior year when they find out the school is going to actively hinder their attempt to find the best fit school they can afford. And I can't imagine that these schools would see that as a good outcome. [/quote]
