Greetings to all in the 7Sage family. How do I deposit some coins in David's karma count for the generosity of that intro? He's right -- strong communication is the secret weapon of any endeavor. It's also, simply, a beautiful thing -- when we read good writing, we perk up (and that's what we want that admissions counselor to do). And it can most definitely be taught -- so I look forward to working with you to hone yours in your essays and statements.
