Essay Strategy > Writing Quality

hi everyone, i've been commenting this on a few people's posts but wanted to make a general post about it. If you are looking for feedback on your essay, here's a way to "vet" the person reading your essay, WHETHER OR NOT it is paid / professional advice or free. they need to mention ESSAY STRATEGY. writing quality is obviously important in college admissions: if you can't write, then you clearly can't think (according to linguistics, language is a tool for thought, not communication!). BUT with the ever-increasing number of college applicants, and the reduced funding for universities nowadays, admissions only gets harder. you need a strategy for your application, i.e. what kind of story you're telling. you COULD work with me on that... but whether you work with me, another person, or alone, essay strategy is the end-all be-all when it comes to admissions.
