In today's episode, I discuss Duke's recent announcement that they will no longer assign points to the college essay.
They used to grade essays using a point system (1 - 5). Strong essays received high scores. Weak essays received low scores.
Not anymore.
Students no longer get credit for using proper punctuation, grammar, spelling, syntax, diction, etc. None of that matters anymore.
What matters is the "story".
Why is Duke doing this?
How many other colleges will follow suit?
What does this mean for your child's application?
