Is this acceptable for college essays?

Well I understand you’re not controlling it now, I guess I missed the part where she asked for your suggestions. But do her a favor and next time she asks, tell her this one probably isn’t the best idea. A college essay should have the applicant front and center. The truth is, with all the “holistic” admissions, even if she did have a 1600 and 4.5, the essay might still be make-or-break for her. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating, but the point is that no matter who you are, a good essay is important, and like I said, this is far from the best idea out there.

I do appreciate that you’re giving your daughter advice when she asks for it though, you clearly really care about her education :slight_smile:
