Is My Dad Right??

I say your Dad is wrong on this, but probably pretty right in every other area. In any event… I think writing about family members being great influences is pretty trite as well and been done to death. And truthfully, as others have said, the essays are not about them per say. As the admission’s officer at Tufts said a few years back to a tour group, it’s not grandma applying for admission, so telling us how great she is does nothing for you as the applicant (or some variation).
