<p>It would be of great help if any of you could share your essays. :)</p>
<p>I’m currently in the crucial process of writing my Brown essay and I wanted to gain an idea of what an accepted essay looks like (especially for the “What don’t you know prompt”!!) and what kind of ideas you used. I realize that there is no specific ‘formula’ essay but I just wanted a general idea of what you guys wrote about.</p>
<p>I have already deicided on my topic and it would be foolishness to write the same essay as you, so don’t worry, I have no intentions of stealing any ideas.</p>
<p>I have written a rough draft of mine (and it’s a damn risky one), so I’m not sure if what I’ve written fits the topic well!</p>
<p>I don’t want to seem like some idiot who couldn’t understand the topic and at the end of reading it the adcoms go,“Hm, that was a nice essay…but where did it touch upon the topic?”.</p>
<p>Reading accepted essays will give me an idea of what others wrote about and worked and might even make something click in my mind about a new topic should my essay sound too outworldlyish (That happens sometimes to me, finding out other people’s idiosycracies makes me remember my own).</p>
<p>I agree with Engineer. The better thing to do is ask current students to read your essays though we are in a very critical period since our 2nd round of midterms are coming to a close and we need to start preparing for our finals/final papers). We all know how stressful the admission process is (since we have all gone through it ourselves), but I’m so hesitant to send my old essays to people since it was my thinking process and no one else’s. At this point, I would ask someone who you know at Brown or an English teacher read over it and give you feedback.</p>
thanks</p>
