<p>WHOA WHOA. Let’s please not entertain the idea of getting rid of the essays.There are a lot of kids out here who write amazing essays without coaches and advisers, and essays are the one part of the application we can control. (Please no one get smart and say grades or scores. You know what I mean 
) </p>
<p>I feel that the essays should be enough to push the 2300 SAT, 3.9 kid over the 2400 SAT 4.0 kid any day, everyday. Some people (<em>cough, cough</em> me) poured our hearts into the essays and it was honestly my favorite part. </p>
<p>lol but I got deferred so…</p>
