I got into a very very bad, deadly car accident a few years ago. It wasn’t my fault, the other person was drunk. Is writing about a car accident a bad idea?
How do you imagine that will impress adcoms to admit you?
You need a focus to this topic. What is it about this accident that gives you something to write about that will show YOU. I’m not saying it’s not significant or important I’m saying you need to hone in your idea.
It’s about showing you as a compelling match. To do that, you need some understanding of what your college targets want and look for. An accident sounds like a big event to share with them, but how is it relevant to the traits your targets want in their freshman class?
