<p>Hi. For the "pick your own topic" essay, are there any suggestions/clear no-no's when it comes to topics? I want to write why I love composing music and hopefully come across as a person while doing so. Does that sound like an OK topic?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Safest bet is usually a nice tale that shows the strengths adcoms like. The challenge prompt lets you discuss a situation you faced, how you made it through and evolved. Remember the good advice to “show, not tell.” Also, composing is mostly a solo activity- it’s good to somehow show how you engage with others, react and grow. Good luck.</p>
