I felt that the second essay was more of a way to explain bad grades, test scores etc. or a significant event in your life that has had a negative influence on you… therefore explaining some problem that would appear on your transcript. Well, after I sent in my application I noticed that it said to be the most competitive one should write on both essay prompts…!

But when I talked to my counselor she felt like I did initially, and that is that what I would write in the second essay would reiterate what is already in my application either through recs, ecs, or my first essay.

My question is, is it really that bad to not have submitted the second essay?
