Violet Said:

Based on this (short!) essay, if you were a scholarship essay reader, would you give me a grant?

We Answered:

Based on your answer, you sound like you are a very motivated, determined, intellectual student who does really well in school.

You have a great base from which you are driven, but your points are not really clear in your essay. Remember that you are not the only one applying, and if your essay does not address the points clearly, then it makes reading your work more difficult... and it could cost you your chance to be awarded.

I would re-write the essay to answer the questions clearly. Also, think about deleting the info re: the possibility of quitting school, because it questions your determination in being efficient with the award money (why would they give it to you if you're only going to quit?).

I'm in a psychology doctoral program now, so I know how long the road can seem. It appears that you have so much potential, so for the sake of people with Autism, please do not quit.

Good luck with your financial aid application!

Is the best way to win with Brett Favre to NOT use him?

We Answered:

I believe that Favre makes another defense have to respect him. With Thomas Jones last season. Teams weren't scared of Chad Pennington. They could stick eight men in the box. Now they have to respect the pass. Now the Packers without Favre teams are going to gameplan to make the young QB beat them. They can now stack the box. Thats why Ryan Grant's year has been not as good. I guess by not using him your still using him to keep the defense honest.
