I don't agree with that. I'm assuming that if she's the kind of girl that would dye her hair pink, she's not the kind who would be interested in going to a conservative private school. An admissions director at a very liberal school like Oberlin would look at an essay like that much more favorably than an admissions director at a traditional, conservative school like Washington & Lee would.
