<p>Hi guys! Does anyone know if essays will be read in order by the same person or will they be read in different order by different people? My essays connect to each other, some concluding with a reference to another; I was just wondering how independent my essays should be from one another.</p>

Your application will be read first by a triager (a senior admissions counselor) who will make sure that there aren't any red flags - D's, 200's on SAT I and II tests, etc. If you make it past the triage stage, your app will be read by two different readers, each of whom will write a summary for the committee to consider. Then your app will go to committee and be seen & discussed by 1-3 groups, each of which is comprised of 3-4 admissions officers. I'd say most apps are seen by at least 2 of these groups before a decision is made. So if you've been doing the math, your app will be seen by - on average - 10 or so people before it's "stamped" with a decision.

I get the impression from this that it's fine for the essays to be connected in some way.</p>
