🏫 College Advising

Which of the following actions by a college advisor, when assisting a student with their application essays, constitutes an ethical breach?

A Providing feedback on the essay's structure and clarity.
B Helping the student brainstorm potential topics and narrative angles.
C Suggesting specific revisions to improve the essay's impact, maintaining the student's voice.
D Rewriting significant portions of the student's essay to improve its quality.

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

Rewriting a student's essay crosses the line into academic dishonesty, as it misrepresents the student's own work and voice to admissions committees. Advisors should guide, not write.
