Do the "why" essays help students that would otherwise be accepted get scholarship, or does it just help those on the cusp get in?

This and yield protect.

Part of me disagrees. I cant negotiate scholarship with school X stating that I'm considering Y and they offered more money after I raved about how X was my life goal on my why X essay...

anybody want to swap why X?

Check out the TLS article on writing an effective "Why x" essay. It helped me tremendously.
