Dad II – that’s true. I am kind of involved in the essay thing (likely more than I should). I just know it’s absolute & complete torture to force son to sit down & write and essay completely on his own—he’ll procrastinate for months (has done this in the past). With the need for early apps because of a gpa/test score disparity, it kind of has to be pushed. I figured someone would point out the use of the plural pronoun on this subject! :-)

Now re-thinking (son’s!) essay…don’t think he mentioned ‘low point’ in his–maybe just to GC.
