[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The essay is not a writing test.[/quote] Okay, apply with a poorly organized, poorly crafted and poorly written essay and see how that goes.[/quote] The opposite of tests isn't disorder. One advantage with the essay model is giving students the ability to flesh out their narrative and background, not test their writing. Most AOs will readily admit that most of the writing crossing their desk is not interesting, nor quality, but it is a key facet to holistic admissions.[/quote] Give your AO a break and write something they don't need to struggle to read. These are seniors in high school and this is one of the more important pieces of communication they will produce up to this point. So maybe put a little effort into it?[/quote]
