My mentality was have perfect grammar and spelling but tell a real story that sets you apart from the rest of the group. You want it to be memorable.
Be authentic. Even if it may feel messy. Admissions committees accept HUMANS, not essays.
Also thinking about this. I think now with AI we will start to see a preference for real answers over polished ones, but I’m not sure how far along admissions are in that evolution (assuming I’m correct)
Why can’t they be both? If you can’t show your authentic self in a polished manner you can see why programs might question skills?
