Georgetown SFS Essay - Topics

Hi!

At this point, I want to focus on a global issue in my area of expertise (Brazil). I am NOT sure though if this is a proper approach–whether or not I should instead approach the issue from a global standpoint, proposing a very general solution, or whether I can showcase my passion in offering a solution tailored to, in this case, Brazil.

Any input is appreciated, especially those of you who have been accepted (or even not, for examples of what to avoid)!

Thanks!

Uhh… I can’t help you, but with some strategic Google searching, I found a few old but relevant threads:

I’m guessing that at the end of the day, “global” is intentionally broad so that you can write about something you are knowledgeable and passionate about, in relation to foreign affairs.
