<p>hi,
I’m currently working on my application for Brown. I have finished the two short answer questions, however, when it comes to the larger essay, I’m seriously stuck. Does anyone have any examples or direction that they can suggest?</p>
<p>thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I wrote mine about my introduction to chaos theory in my calculus class last year and how interesting and applicable I found it. Sounds rather mundane, but I feel as though it was written pretty well and interestingly.</p>
<p>actually that sounds pretty interesting!</p>
<p>I just can’t think of anything that has really changed my outlook on life, and then the other option is the “best piece of advice you’ve even been given” but I feel as if that’ll sound really cliche.</p>
<p>hmm, i also wrote it on a class i took-- it was a very interesting creative writing/philosophy class with a very boring name (english gate…). i connected the class to helping me visualize my passions and whatnot.</p>
<p>i don’t think you have to have something that changes your life, per se. if you think something sounds good to you, write about it in a way that only you can write it. i think that’d make it unique and un-cliched!</p>
<p>I definitely think that you could write a good essay for that prompt but it depends on what the piece of advice is. If the advice is just a cliche euphimism or something then you might struggle to turn it into a really interesting essay.</p>
<p>Anything’s possible; my advice was honest, yet pretty much a cliche. What matters is what you make out of the experience; what they can draw from the essay.</p>
<p>can someone please read my essay over for me before I submit it?</p>
