	Exemplary/Proficient (15-13) (N/A)	Emerging (12-10) (N/A)	Incomplete (<10) (N/A)
Content/Organization (15)	Exemplary/Proficient (15-13) Opening anecdote hooks the reader and clearly characterizes the applicant; subsequent anecdotes are developed with concrete and interesting details and provide the reader with an excellent characterization of the applicant; the writer addresses a particular school, an area of study, and ties together their past and future and leaves the reader with a good profile of this individual.	Emerging (12-10) The beginning narrative needs to be more developed; specific accomplishments and accolades need more explanation; the requirements of the prompt are not entirely satisfied.	Incomplete (<10) There is no opening narrative or it is not appropriate to the objective; the body of the essay lacks specific accomplishments; the prompt was not addressed.
Originality/Voice (15)	Exemplary/Proficient (15-13) The essay abounds with vivid details and diction that is appropriate to the audience and purpose; the writer's personality is evident throughout the essay and affords the reader with a truly engaging experience; an optimistic, conversational tone prevails through most of the essay.	Emerging (12-10) The essay provides some imagery and unique word choice; the writer's personality may be apparent, just not consistent; the experience for the reader is nothing super extraordinary.	Incomplete (<10) Anecdotes are lacking; the essay is merely a list of accomplishments without any or enough details to bring out the individual.
Proofreading/Guidelines (10)	Exemplary/Proficient (15-13) Spelling, grammar, and mechanics are flawless; transitional words and phrases allow for a smooth flow of ideas; word count requirements are met.	Emerging (12-10) Spelling, grammar, and mechanics are nearly flawless; the tone necessary for this essay isn't consistent; the essay's ideas could have a better flow; word count may or may not meet the requirements.	Incomplete (<10) Too many proofreading/guidelines errors to count.
Total Points (40)	Exemplary/Proficient (15-13)	Emerging (12-10)	Incomplete (<10)
