i think not
i applied to top schools like duke, mit and ucb and got rejected
(btw i am an international and asked for aid at duke and applied to undeclared engg at ucb)
as these schools are dream schools, i worked really hard on my essays to utmost perfection.
it was unique and insightful and i liked it and showed it some people and they said it was awesome
but then my rejection indicates that essays aren't that inmportant??

btw i have normal stats(2230 sat 1 and 1560 sat 2 and 4.3 W gpa, decent ec's)
