<p>Honestly, the best topic I can think for my essay (choice #1) would be the story of how I came out to my parents and friends.</p>
<p>"Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you."</p>
<p>Well, I think I've covered all four! :)</p>
<p>If I keep it professional (and not awkward), do you think I should submit it?</p>
<p>I'm going to all North-East schools, so I think I'm free from insane right-wing college app reviewers.</p>
<p>If done properly without insulting either political opinions, it sounds like an excellent topic. </p>
<p>Even if they’re all “liberal” schools, you shouldn’t assume that the essay readers are liberal as well.</p>
<p>That’s true, but Isn’t it illegal to be prejudice like that?
I’m making it more about getting to know yourself than gender identity, of course.</p>
<p>It’s not illegal, just frowned upon. Is it fair in the world of college admissions? Of course not. But admissions is a shady back-room deal operation. There’s no point in arguing over the justice of “my reader shouldn’t be biased” because you’ll never know why you are rejected, if you are rejected.</p>
<p>It depends on how you focus your essay. Try to keep it focused on letting the reader learn how you tick, what you like, personality, etc.</p>
