UE, I don’t think strong essays matter that much… I wrote my essay one hour before the application deadline on Nov. 1 (which probably ended up being crappier than thousands of essays from excellent writers) and I still was accepted to the fall term. GPA, SATs, and ECs play a much bigger role



Haha, so true! Granted I was a NMF, there was an essay topic like “how can you contribute to the diversity of UF” and I wrote essentially “there’s no way to be unique when a campus has 45000 students”.
