<p>Hi everyone,
I’m applying to Brown and am currently on the “Why Brown?” essay. I feel like it would really be nice if I could use an anecdote and with regards to Brown, I have some very poignant ones. I spent a few weeks at the summer precollege program there and absolutely fell in love with everything about Brown. I had some really fun intellectual experiences and I thought why not use one within an essay. What do you guys think? Should I use an experience that I had at their precollege for an essay or will that come off as contrived?</p>
