<p>Here is the prompt (NYU):
What intrigues you? Tell us about one work of art, scientific achievement, piece of literature, method of communication, or place in the world (a film, book, performance, website, event, location, etc.), and explain its significance to you.</p>
<p>I talked about a person who interests me a lot and has had a significant impact on me. Is my essay off-topic?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
