Sinopsis
I really was not going to do this episode. I resisted doing our last two--one episode about The Common Application main essay (that 650-word statement that all seniors’ parents and teachers have come to loathe at this time of year) and one episode about the sad fact that our high school seniors in the U.S. cannot write. I was glad when last week was over, and I thought that I could move on to other topics of importance in the college applications season. And yet, I am drawn back into the quagmire of college application essays. It gets worse. When I started putting this episode together--this episode that I did not want to do--I figured that I could keep it short and sweet. When I hit nine pages of text, I realized that it was not short (nor was it sweet, actually). And so, I have done something else that I didn’t want to do. I have planned for two episodes on this topic of supplemental essays. Of course, I thought you might go back and re-listen to Episode 106,
