<p>My son sent in a supplemental essay, because he’d written more than one for EA applications. I’m not sharing them, because 1. I don’t have them, and 2. I don’t think they were that good!</p>
<p>He’s an engineering sort of kid and his essays were adequate. The first one started with the results of a program that put together a bunch of sample essays off the web and then went on to say, that while he’d much rather have a computer write his essay, obviously he needed to get a lot more sophisticated about programming to get away with it. It then went on to talk about how his family and school had supported him to become as a good a programmer as he is. I think the second essay was about how he liked to reread books.</p>
