<p>have confidence in yourself! lol if you don't know yet ;) being from nicaragua definitely is a big point in the admission wars in the applicant pool! applying to harvard is the first step! so you've already got your foot in.</p>

<p>yes, i will be applying for 2007 fall entrance.</p>

<p>yubi thanks for the heads up!</p>

<p>I know it's already been 2 months since the last post but if any other accepted students could answer what they wrote about?</p>

<p>it just feels like most of the people who posted so far had unique/off-the-wall topics. is this advisable?? I was thinking it's advantageous to write about your passions or something more serious...? not sure</p>

<p>Oh by the way if it sounded like I was asking what the "best" topic is...I'm not. I know that the essay is supposed to reflect your own personality and thus you can write about whatever you want, but I'm just wondering--how much of your personality does it show if you write about something "random" or as I said above "off-the-wall" except that you're different?</p>

<p>Or I guess how do you relate such a topic to your career/life goals? Or is it unnecessary to do such a thing.</p>

<p>itida- I wrote about my dad's Marine Corps deployments when I was young, and developed that into how that influenced me to want to lead a life of service, including doing my own time in the USMC when I graduate from Harvard.</p>

<p>Wait... Finale, are you serious?!</p>

<p>bumpity bump :)</p>
