Which essay would you recommend and why?

Cav's dead on. </p>
<p>DO NOT pick essay topics based on what you think will impress admission people. The result is usually forced and overly academic, lacking personality. </p>
<p>That being said, don't go for the obvious. I can't tell you how many Da Vinci Code essays we read in response to #1 last year. Even if you wrote an amazing essay on that topic, it was lumped together with all the other Da Vinci Code essays.</p>
<p>Parke Muth, a Dean and the Director of International Admission in our office, wrote a great article about essays. If you haven't read it yet, there's a link to it on the front of the Office of Admission website. It's worth the read!</p>
