<p>IMagine if there were NO supplements, you would have kids applying in even HIGHER numbers to schools and creating even more of a nightmare kids applying to many schools</p>
<p>If the school is one the student really wants to go to, they will do the essay</p>
<p>My D told me about several kids who had done several applications and were thinking, well Auntie Em told me I should apply here....but seeing an additional essay just wasn't worth it, the school wasn't that attractive to them</p>
