You can’t know that your essay will be amazing before you write it. You can write about a great topic and it can still be terrible. Also, your writing will be compared to that of the best writers in the country. Will it really hold up to that scrutiny? I’m sure the vast majority of applicants are very strong writers.

Your essay may be amazing, but I bet a lot of people overestimate how good theirs is in comparison to the competition. Also, a great essay won’t make up for the rest of the application being lackluster.

Also, I agree with rd31’s analysis.
