Just curious..
Wont this serve as a means for applicants to also copy stories, plagiarize essays, and not do the deep retrospection that essays demand?
I know there are million of sources/books/webpages out there that provide old "successful" essays, but referring to them is often a recipe for failure. Am I missing something basic?
IMO, a line by line analysis of how a candidate wrote his essay and portrayed his story would be more useful rather than an essay book.

It looks like there is a tie between the names "Success Insights" and "Pole Star" based on the number of kudos. I am going forward with "Success Insights" after an internal tiebreaker.

I also have a few people reached out who like to contribute to this project. I will update all the details in the first post.
