how could you forget what you wrote about for an essay that was written only 4-5 months ago? not to mention its probably one of the most important essays you'll ever write. :rolleyes: if you would rather be secretive about it then just leave it blank. no need to come up with some lame excuse

its possible to forget about what you wrote about... cuz i applied to 16 schools (some didn't require essays)... and i don't remember much about what i wrote for each schools either
