Yeah Because the college doesnt just look at the grades, they look at the person. You can have a 4.0 Gpa student with no community service or extracurriculars. Colleges want someone who is going to be distinct. Make sure your essays resonate. Be yourself. Dont use complicated words you can hardly spell. Hope for the best. Good luck.

actually thats a good question b/c diff. applications have diff. topics....its just a way for the colleges to get to know you besides your academic skills and they want to see how well you can organize thoughts and how mature & intelligent you are....i think its the most important part of the essay b/c you actually have a chance to win them over... ...well you know try to
