Presidents Get Chance to Write Admissions Essays

The Wall Street Journal is publishing 10 essays by college presidents -- with the topics coming from their institutions' essay questions for applicants. So if you always wanted to know the person who has most influenced the lives of the presidents of Grinnell, Oberlin, or Vassar Colleges, or Wesleyan University; or how Barnard College's president thinks about the daily routine, or how Reed College's president experienced diversity, this is your chance. The presidents had to pledge to write the essays themselves.
