Besides turning them in as early as possible, how much is the content of these essays weighted towards an interview invite?

I turned in my top choices first but as I get better at writing secondaries, I realized that the secondaries I am producing now are a much higher caliber than the ones I sent to my top schools. Theres one essay in particular where they asked why this school and I re read it and I basically said nothing specific about the school...it was pretty generic. I probably could've copied and pasted it to another school and just changed the names thats how generic I feel it is upon reading it over again. I just hope it doesn't wreck my chances for an interview invite :(

Anyways 8 done as of now! Keep it up everyone!!

Depends on the school im sure...some want "fit" more than stats. Also you'll probably get more slack if you have good greats <-- also school dependent.
