Would anyone be willing read my Essay for the following question:
“What work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature has surprised, unsettled, or challenged you, and in what way?”
I’m really nervous that its humorous tone might give off the wrong impression.
Don’t be nervous of writing in a manner that best reflects who you are. In fact, you should embrace that so your confidence truly comes through.
No Worries. I’m a current student and I wrote about how math is unsettling because it was so formulaic and uncreative but I made every two sentences rhyme to prove my point lol. I think they are looking for people who have a unique view on the world rather than someone who would wire about common issues like genetic testing.
Current student here! Don’t be afraid to have a unique essay, the admissions officers have to read thousands that are all nearly the same. For wrote my essay very tongue and cheek, and on the origin of the term “anal retentive”
Really? That’s something… My essay was going to be on how I able to take a childhood fear and change “it” (Hint, hint) into something that I now find hilarious.
