No Outside Help: Going it Alone

Paper Summary:

This paper is a short personal commentary about how the student disagrees with students getting help on college entrance essays because of the inherent dishonesty involved. The paper talks about dishonesty involved by the student who can't write well vying for limited admission or scholarships from schools with students who can write well and express themselves. It also talks about the changing roles of professionals who now have to write well without secretaries to clean up and edit their work.

From the Paper:

"The level of competition for the limited number of college entrances available to good schools is terribly high. The number of graduate school admissions limits the number of new students per year even further. The number of scholarships available is even less. What they all have in common is the emphasis relied on the College Entrance Essay. The decision which school will accept you is based on your grades, transcript, college entrance exam scores, and finally, on which school subjectively likes your essay. Essays are not something that can be judged on the basis of a correct answer, like a math question. College entrance essays are a commentary of your life and your goals. How can anyone say your essay is right or wrong? "
