<p>The Harvard extra essay is virtually an open topic, right? The listed options are just suggestions?</p>
<p>Yup. You're right.</p>
<p>That's what I was confused about before. Perhaps I should call or e-mail to make sure just in case? Or has someone on CC already done that? Call me paranoid, but I'm just scared they won't look at it because it's not written on one of the suggested topics. </p>
<p>Ahhhhh!</p>
<p>Ok, I'm good.</p>
<p>I'm positive that you can write on a different topic.</p>
<p>i wrote on a different topic and i got in.</p>
<p>same here, i basically put in an alternate common app essay</p>
