<p>for this prompt:
I know people always tell you not to write about controversial topics in college essays (religion, politics, etc)
but do you think it would be ok (meaning, not harmful) if I wrote about how reading darwin’s origin of species made me question my religion for the first time and come to adopt agnosticism on my own?</p>
<p>That’s not controversial. I mean, not at Brown. I’d say go for it; sounds like a good topic.</p>
<p>haha thanks! yeah brown is pretty liberal huh</p>
<p>Yeah, I did the “what don’t you know” supplement essay, and I said that I basically don’t know if God exists. And I got in. So I’d say go for it! :)</p>
<p>^haha that’s a great one!</p>
<p>Yeah, those are really uncommon topics and they stick out obviously in a good way if you got accepted. I wrote mine on a book…unoriginal I guess? – Beloved . It was a really good book and had a lot of depth and meaning; I hope I get accepted!</p>
