Common app essay question/idea?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>i was thinking about writing a zen buddhist critique for the common app essay in which i basically say its ridiculous to document experience with words, and then list all the poetic/aesthetic stuff you miss out on with language only. so by negating the common app and language in general, i affirm a bunch of stuff i like to do and value. </p>

<p>just wondering if this is an ok idea to pursue, seeing how my it would impact admissions decisions.</p>

<p>It’s a risk. It will depend on who reads your application really. Only do it for schools that are high reach/reach. Play safe with your safeties.</p>
