Essays are meaningfully at many schools. I am highly confident that they were the difference for my kid at several elite schools where so many candidates are academically qualified.
Always a good excuse to mention clam farts…
<p>I just realized that I listed “clam fart” as an extracurricular activity on my application to Yale. dies I was filling it out while one of my friends was over my house, and she was intently watching as I filled it out (which was annoying me). So, as a shocker, I typed in “clam fart” and she started laughing hysterically. BUT I FORGOT TO DELETE IT!!! What’s worse is that I wrote that I had been doing it for 17 years!!! I don’t even know what a clam fart is!!! It’s already submitted (obviously), but I didn’t re-read the printed version of my application closely until today. Should I call the office of admissions??</p>
