<p>Would writing about how stressful junior year was and how I learned that I wasn't superhuman be a bad essay topic?</p>
<p>I was thinking it over and I thought that writing about my abysmal junior year would be good because not only did I learn something about myself but it would also explain any lower grades I might have.</p>
<p>Or would this simply make the college think that I would not be able to deal with college work or something?</p>
<p>Other possibilities would be to discuss junior year in a supplemental statement or to have your GC discuss it.</p>
<p>Learning that you aren't superhuman could make for a personal and revealing essay, but imo make sure that the essay, overall, is positive about you.</p>
<p>Getting 2 Bs doesn't mean you had an abysmal junior year. I don't think you should write the essay--it seems sort of melodramatic.</p>
<p>Yeah, I wouldn't talk about that. It's kind of a boring topic, in my opinion. I mean, I wouldn't want to listen to a guy blabber on about how he didn't get as great grades as he thought he would... </p>
<p>I think it's a good idea to write about something that doesn't have to do with high school. It's more fun that way.</p>
<p>yeah, i would write about something not academic-related.</p>
