<p>If you had read my essay, you wouldn’t have said that…</p>
<p>The essay is supposed to make the admissions counselors get a deeper understanding of me. I think it makes me more relatable. In terms of “too perfect,” trust me, I’m not. But I do think I’m unique. And since when are good SAT scores a bad thing? Are you insinuating that because I’ve worked hard in school and in my extracurriculars, the admissions committee won’t like me?</p>
<p>Cornfield, ignore Shanog. That’s a ridiculous statement. While the intent of it may be sincere, it’s articulated in a manner that makes me believe it’s utterly absurd.</p>
<p>^^^^6 posts? Don’t bother paying attention. Just trying to jerk your chain. Plus, substitute “cookie cutter” for perfect. Just be yourself, fab grades and scores NEVER hurt, but let your uniqueness shine.</p>
<p>Cornfields: Urban and OBD are absolutely correct — no Midd admissions staffer would sway the dean or the committee with such sentiment. Your great credentials speak for themselves and can only help.</p>
