How it helps
Personal essays involve money, staff, and time that the University does not have time for.

How it Hurts
A test doesn’t show success of a student. Full representation= nonexistent

How it Hurts• Public schools and private schools: different criteria for GPA.
One school’s 4.0 could be another's 3.5.
