如果那文章说的都是真的，那么
There were simply too many files to consider in too small a time frame, and too many other evaluative factors that mattered much more. How likely was an applicant to accept our offer of admission? Had we already accepted anyone from his or her remote zip code? Had the applicant received any special endorsement from a college alumnus or a faculty member? Did someone in the office owe a favor to the applicant’s guidance counselor? Those are the questions that get debated before a verdict is reached. But during the hundreds of deliberations I sat in on over two admission cycles, I literally never heard a decision made on the basis of a personal essay alone.
很多猜测原来都是真的。当然我相信Essay肯定还是很重要。比这文章说的肯定是要重要。因为成也essay,败也essay，也是重要的猜测之一
