| Stanford's essays were a *****. If I'd known all I know now when I wrote them, I would have taken a completely different route. I think they could have done a lot for my app, but oh well.
The only thing I will give Stanford is that the "why Stanford?" essay was short, if I remember correctly... So many schools had that as their only supplementary essay... I'm vaguely certain I probably put the adcomms to sleep with those. |
