But it can put you behind the kid whose A+ paper IS well written.

This isn’t as simple as grade inflation. They ask for a graded paper for the teacher comments, as well. Adcoms aren’t hs English or history teachers, going to assess whether your grade was stringent enough. They want to see what YOU consider strong work to go with a college app. A tippy top wants to see if YOU can identify this, what you’re thinking. Or if any old A grade does it, even one flawed.

Princeton has its choice of kids who can submit a truly strong paper. Be smart about this.
