Alexis Yale Letter copy_00001.jpg

why college essays really, really matter

When Alexis applied to college, she submitted the same personal statement to all six schools to which she applied: Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, and The University of Pennsylvania. She was admitted to all six schools, but someone from the admissions department at Yale actually called her high school guidance counselor immediately upon reading her application, kind of freaking out (we believe that’s the official admissions term). The committee absolutely loved the essay.

Alexis received an offer of admission on the spot, and was sent an official letter of acceptance over a month before the regular decision notification date. (So, yes, to all the astute readers out there, not only did Alexis forget to apply to a safety school, she did everything Regular Decision. Probably don’t do that.)

Anyway, the point is, a good college essay REALLY, REALLY matters.
