Hopeful SNRA, I plan to apply next year. Some friends recently got accepted to a program that requires a personal essay, they advised me that the essay is super important for admission and that a strict (and secret) rubric was used for grading.

Are any of you familiar with grading personal essays? What stands out? What are some things to be careful of?

Obviously I’m not asking for a specific program’s rubric, just looking for some ideas and discussion
