Back in 2021 I was listening to some NPR podcast about college admissions during the Covid pandemic and they had some college admissions people as guests. One of them, after talking about how thoughtful and seriously they take their process of making decisions, said that he just wanted applicants to stop writing essays about how their lives were impacted by the Covid pandemic.
I knew instantly that it was all bullshit, and none of my children have applied to colleges that include essays as part of the application process.
