@ManaManaWegi Excellent link. Kudos for looking and finding, that’s the spirit!

Every bit of your writing matters. It reflects your thinking, including what you decided to write about and how. Character and personal qualities include this thinking (as do some ECs) and you either show it or not.

Do you really think they only look at stats and ECs and, with that level of competition, a kid can’t get x-ed out for a poorly done supp?

Btw, no to $50/hr. And watch out for college consultants and test prep co’s purporting to have the inside scoop; they make their bread and butter convincing you they know.
