@gibby Harvard and MIT two completely different schools though don’t you think? MIT a more hip school with a totally different vibe than Harvard. The profiles of the AOs of any school are going to be a more direct fit with the culture of the school. Harvard, which is the specific school of this thread, does not have an admissions office of just 23 year olds, which is not to say that is what you are implying, but the teacher, who has seen the essay, is correct in coaching the student to consider the background of those reading the essays. Having come across another post by OP, the electric guitar essay may be for shock value.
