Guest blogger tomorrow!!!!!
So, today I got the inside scoop from a member of the Harvard College Admissions Board and the Harvard College Medical School Admissions Board (not sure if that is what it is called exactly). The undergrad board member told me that the number one trait that he looks for in an applicant's admission essay is sincerity, an authentic and effective writing voice in an essay that is well-organized with a clear thesis. The med school person told me that the quality of writing on an applicant's personal statement can make or break his/her application.
Interesting.
