<p>i think the topic i can write best about is why i want to be a sociology major. is this a bad topic?</p>
<p>If you can work it into a unique experience then yeah go for it :D</p>
<p>You said it yourself: this is the topic you think you can write best about.</p>
<p>Focus on your personal experience. Have you encountered any situations in your life you can relate to why you want to study sociology. Poverty? Aging? Racial/Ethnic inequality? Prison conditions in your home state? Make sure you convey your personality through your writing. Try writing it and see how you do. You still have time to explore another topic if you don’t like how this one comes out.</p>
<p>We work with a lot of students applying to medical school and the application essay question is usually some variant of “why do you want to go to medical school” so writing about your passion for the field you’re going to study is no problem. It may actually be the norm if/when you apply for graduate school.</p>
