<p>You wish essays weren't as important. I think that they are still the deciding factor when it comes down to two students with similar stats. The essay put you over the edge.</p>

<p>And you wish they are. Just because your previous 4 years' work has been less than spectacular doesn't mean that the essay will propel you to unimaginable heights.</p>
<p>BURN!</p>

<p>I didn't say that the essay would get someone with a 900 SAT score into Harvard, did i? But You are seriously dillusional if you think that it wouldn't help if the essay was mind blowing. The essay is just one more IMPORTANT factor in college admissions.</p>
<p>And i think that warrants a BURN!!</p>
