Also, in terms of essays: I’m actually pleased when a college requires or offers one/some to answer. To me that speaks to how the college knows what they are looking for, etc. and I like knowing that they are maximizing a good fit. Wouldn’t want S to attend a school that only cared about numbers. And, extending that further, I like schools that recommend or prefer interviews, too for the same reason.

But be careful in that notions of “good fit” differ between applicants and colleges. And if the college (or one of its divisions or majors) has a surplus of “good fit” applicants, it will not be able to admit all of them.
