<p>I think it vastly depends on what college or university your talking about.</p>
<p>Also, how good it is may be a factor.</p>
<p>I’m gonna say it depends on how many apps they have to get through in a day plus how good your essay is. </p>
<p>I mean, if it’s a school where they have 500 apps to do a day as compared to a school where they only have to 100 or less, obviously school #2 isn’t going to be as pressed for time.</p>
<p>Also, if your essay’s opening lines aren’t that interesting, the person reading them probably won’t want to delve too deeply into the essay.</p>
