<p>The question is, "If you could be any one person who has been active in politics, who would you choose to be and why?"</p>
<p>Does anybody know how long this essay has to be? Also, how much weight is put on this essay? I need to write it quickly since the deadline is in 2 days! Any responses will be appreciated!</p>
<p>sorry, but i need advice!</p>
<p>bumppp</p>
<p>write something that admissions officers wouldnt expect. Sure FDR and Lincoln were great, but unless you can write something new about them your essay will be lacking.</p>
<p>It doesnt have to be an obscure person, but choose a politician you can relate to.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>how long are they expecting? about 500 words?</p>
<p>How do I get to this essay on the online app? I want to apply to the SMPA.</p>

<p>does anybody know if the person you choose has to be a politician? can it be a political journalist, activist, or anyone else who has been involved in politics in some shape or form?</p>
<p>do you have to write one if your a political science major?</p>
