Embrace the essay as an opportunity to stand out.

College applications are examined for an average of 8 minutes.
In a sea of stats, test scores, and extracurriculars, there’s one solid way for competitive students to stand out: the essay.

Overall, math proficiency in Montgomery County Public Schools (MD) — 14th largest district in the US — went from 42.5% in 2019 to just under 23% in 2022. Hearing this from colleges, too: where students are placing into math now compared to a few years ago. moco360.media/2023/03/10/mid…

👉“A rejection then is not about you; it’s about what a college needs the year you apply. Just because a college accepts 25 percent of its applicants doesn’t mean you have a one in four chance of getting in."

It's MIT. Haven't examined the polling methodology, but the sample is likely heavily skewed towards STEM students... particularly those in CS who will eventually be replaced by #GPT4 😱
