<p>Regardless of whether it’s a good essay or not (which I think it is, not perfect obviously but good), I don’t think he should have sent it so close to the deadline. Only serves to create added stress for applicants who may have had similarly-styled essays. Yes it could help to jumpstart the creative juices in some people but again their inspired essays may closely resemble this one and I believe it’s too close to the deadline to have any positive effect anyway.</p>
