Eloquence vs. Content in Supplement Essay for Yale

<p>My Common App essay is pretty straightforward, demonstrating character and academic initiative (I think) without being too flowery or complex. </p>

<p>However, I have written another essay which I am considering using in supplements that I think has (at least) the potential to be beautifully written and meaningful, but it does not tell a lot about me as a student or my aspirations/background/anything like that. It's a lot more introspective and personal, basically. (Think something you would read on Rookie).</p>

<p>I am worried about submitting an essay like that to an Ivy League school when I could use those words to talk about other things- but at the same time I think it would be different than a lot of the things they read.</p>

<p>I'd really appreciate some advice, and if you'd like to read it and let me know your opinion based on that, please let me know!</p>

<p>I can read them if you want…it’s hard to tell just based on this description. (I’m a high school senior, but I’m done with all my apps/essays except for a state school RD application.)</p>
