Gosh isn’t that the truth of the matter NewJerseyMom. But “if” the planets had aligned differently and say your daughter spent 10 hours writing those Wash U essays and got a 10K/year scholarship as a result, and decided to go to Wash U, that is $4,000/hour of effort. Probably the best hourly wage any of our kids will ever make in their lives.

It’s worth a try at least some of the time when you are able to battle off the application fatigue that MusicMusic mentioned above. Kids that can do that for every application deserve a medal. Others can only find the mojo a couple of times for the schools and programs that really speak to them the most. My point was that there will be students out there that will see American that way. I know one of them who may not get in to the school never mind honors but in any event, will have left nothing on the table. But having seen those 5 essays, and knowing how much time they took, no way would he have been willing to do this for every school.
