Essays: Haven’t written it yet but it will be about how I kept trying to find my passion and never found “one” (realized that my passion was actually learning and finding connections between every subject). I consider myself a good writer.
Brown has been my absolute first choice since freshman year. However, I fear that my application is all over the place (which I optimistically think goes along with my essay and Brown’s values). Be brutal and honest! Thanks!
