Keep this in mind, transcripts, test scores, teacher recs, and GC rec all show who he is as a student. The essay is his opportunity to show who he is as a person. Don’t be afraid to show the non-intellectual side. The best essays usually have nothing to do with academics, but rather give the reader a look into another facet of the student. Intelligence will shine through in a well written essay, no matter the subject.
