College Essays Can Reveal the Real You
  • Test scores and student grades surely are the
    most vital factors in determining admissions
    decisions, application essays often play a
    significant role as well.
  • Essays can give the admission readers a real
    sense of your personality, way better than
    anything else could. Some believe these essays
    are a glimpse into your soul.
  • At the yearly conferences of NACAC (National
    Association for College Admission Counseling),
    college deans have accepted time and again that
    poorly written essays can turn out to be a NO
    even for students with top grades and scores
    while eloquent and engaging essays can let the
    genie out of the bottle and turn the tide towards
    acceptance for a student with not so good grades
    and scores.
