with my complements

My mom sent me this article, Twins Earn Matching Perfect ACT Scores, and the page was accompanied by this ad:


Hahahahahahaha.

To "complement" is to coordinate with or make whole; to "compliment" is to say something nice about. An essay that "compliments" your test scores would be a quite silly and solipsistic essay.

Would you trust these people with your college essay?

This is just one reason why New York's parents trust me with this task instead.

I haven't read that article but I went to high school with a pair of twins from Brooklyn Heights who each got only one question wrong on the SATs.
One on the verbal, the other one on the math.
