Amherst Supplemental Essays

<p>Is anyone else having a little bit of trouble writing them? They’re the most difficult college essay prompts I’ve come across, hands down. </p>

<p>I’m doing the one about feminism and the right-wing. It’s controversial, but I mean, given that sort of loaded prompt, I don’t really have a choice, right? If anyone would be willing to help me flesh it out/edit it, I would be extreeeeeeeemely grateful. Thank you!</p>

<p>I did the one about Kruschev's mother (I think that's whose mom it was about). You really just have to respond in some way, they're not expecting a one page dissertation.</p>

<p>Aaaaaaaah yeah, I know. It's just stressing me out because it's my last remaining essay to do and I want my apps to be all finished.</p>

<p>I answered the quote about carrying "a great cargo" - after doing a bit of research, I found that it fit PERFECTLY for me even though at first glance I had no idea what to write about. Of all the essays I've had to write for colleges, Amherst's was probably my favorite......I just hope they see the genuity and passion I attempted to convey!</p>

<p>I'm going the science/universe one.</p>
