<p>Hey,</p>

<p>So I'm wondering how closely MIT application essays are read. Do the admissions people merely skim each essay or is every one read in depth? Just curious as I am planning on writing the best essay of my life for my application, so I'm wondering if they actually read it past the surface.</p>
