<p>My english teacher gave us a day in class to start working on our personal statements while we waited for some additional copies of books to arrive.</p>
<p>I started to write my essay about how I was almost suspended from middle school and then turned my social life around with community service and how being a volunteer at a nonprofit recreation center has changed me, but I'm starting to think it seems a bit contrived.</p>
<p>Now, I'm starting to think of what my backup topic would be. I am a fairly strong essayist, and I think I want to utilize the 'Topic of your Choice' option.</p>
<p>I want to write an essay about college admissions. I want to talk about people who have their hopes and dreams crushed in a single letter or email. I want to discuss just how much power the college admissions officer has over 2/3rds of America - parents so desperate for their kids to get into a 'good school' that they create 529s YEARS before their kids are born, enter them into prestigious PRESCHOOLS, and allow their kids to try dozens of different activities. And it's clearly not just the parents. The students themselves are masochistic shells, especially those on college confidential. We work so hard for achievement and recognition only to be shot down because of one mistake or slip-up. I want to lay the college admissions system, as I see it, bare.</p>
<p>Now, my (hypocritical) question is, would the reader, seeing it from an officer's point of view, see this essay as a critique/analysis of the entire system and laud me for it, or would they likely take my paper as an offensive rant and toss out my entire application?</p>
<p>Many students like you getting problem in writing essays,because as i see that students get not much time from their studies to pay attention on making these essays so there are so many sites which you provide you a great services in making your essays and research papers hope you find this informative.</p>
<p>The essay is your chance to let them see who you are. Your first topic, while honorable and true is very cliched. I don’t think the second topic tells them who you are, other than you are really invested at getting into a good college.</p>
<p>Have you read, " On Writing the College Essay?" by Harry Bauld. It may give you some ideas.</p>
<p>I sense from your email that you want to question and challenge authority, which is great if that is who you are? Can you channel that passion and energy into an essay about an example where you did that?</p>
<p>Remember too from the ad com’s perspective, they probably have lots of amazing students they want to admit, but they have to make hard choices because of limited capacity. It probably bothers them that they have to reject so many fantastic kids. So, " baring" the admissions process may make you appear to not see their side of things.</p>
<p>Does that make sense? If you could do it in a way to show some empathy for these poor people that have to read thousands of essays late at night, you might have something…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend confronting the college admissions on the application process. There are thousands of kids that apply, and they go through quite a selection process before accepting their quota of students. </p>
<p>I’ve written some weird college essays; for instance, one is about a cockroach. Feel free to pm me for any further questions. Be original, be creative!</p>
