Turn about is fair play

I am many years removed from having to write the dreaded college admission essay, that narrative piece which has the potential to determine the future of your life -- at least it seems that way at the time. I still recall the time I spent laboring over that task though I have no idea now what I wrote then.
It seems only fair that the Wall Street Journal would challenge college presidents to write their own essays. The story and the essays make wonderful reading.
