Who will grade them? That is the real question.

Actually I have a BS and a JD. The essay portions of the LSAT and the Bar exam are pointless. It would be just more pointless busy work.

I have a High School Diploma with Honors and am in college at the moment. Who in the hell has time to write an essay just to get into college while still finishing all your high school essays, tests, finals etc...

This whole thing sounds like a reality program. America's Best Essay. The contestants come on TV and can only communicate by writing. The audience can see the essay on the screen as it is written and text or email a comment during the process. The feedback is scored and each contestant is rated. The winner gets to write ad copy for Burgerking. Save me room on the couch dear, America's Best Essay is coming on.
