<p>So I am currently in a dilemma...
I am trying to convey my interest in science and my reason for pursuing engineering through my main common app essay by writing a story about my thoughts of a robot. But I am getting two different kinds of feedback on my essay because I admit my essay is ambiguous. Half of the the people I have shown it to liked it. Half of the people I showed it too thought it lacked direction focus and concrete details and couldn't hold the reader's interest especially if they had just written thousand other essays. </p>
<p>Is it okay to have an essay that isn't so direction focused and more ambiguous? I am aiming to send these to high level, like ivy colleges.<br>
Thanks so much!</p>
