<p>Can an essay really give you the advantage despite your poor SAT score?</p>
<p>Is it possible to get accepted based just on your essay?</p>
<p>well, i doubt your essay alone will get you in
but it definitely would be a huge plus if it’s a stunning essay</p>
<p>On the flip side- is it possible to get rejected just because of your essay?</p>
<p>An essay most often "makes you or breaks you’ once you have the stats at schools that only have room for a fraction of the qualified applicants. </p>
<p>It’s kids aiming at ivies rushing to essay consultants around here, not ones aiming for ASU.</p>
<p>Well of course not, ASU doesn’t require an essay-- at least not in-state. I applied last week, and nothin’. XD</p>
<ul>
<li>I would say it IS possible to get rejected because of your essay. You could be the perfect applicant, and still say something horribly racist/mean/cruel/stupid/etc and get rejected for it.</li>
</ul>
<p>yes…</p>
<p>Your grades, rank, and scores are obviously more important, but the essay deffinitely gives the college a better understanding of who you are. I dont really think it can make or break you though.</p>
