I have an incoming freshman who is interested in being in the Manresa ILC. My question is basically the title of this post -- how hard is it to get into the program? Or in other words, how strong does the essay have to be to get in? Does she have to revise it to perfection like a college application essay, or is it less formal?

Obviously she'll do her best but all the entrance exams and this application are on the same timeline as AP exams and finals and I wanted to give her an idea of expectations so she can prioritize.

Thanks in advance :)
