<p>Okay so the question is, What intrigues you? Tell us about one work of art, scientific achievement, piece of literature, method of communication, or place in the world (a film, book, performance, website, event, location, etc.), and explain its significance to you, </p>
<p>Would it be risky to saw that I am intrigued by passion, for example, I used an experience where someone was persistent in fighting for what they believed was right, even though they were the "underdog." Please help, and thank you!!!</p>
<p>Not to shoot it down, but it sounds very unoriginal. Write about something that truly moves you. I wrote about the song that got interested in music and jump started my musical career. Talking about passion seems very vague and won’t serve to have you stand out. Just my two cents.</p>
<p>Well… It sounds like they ask for something more public, idk… I wrote about a book that inspired my family values and things like that. If you think it talks about you strongly, then go for it, but it sounds like a divergence from the question itself, but idk I’m not an admissions officer.</p>
<p>Your idea is unoriginal because you are talking about passion. Something admission officers see all the time. This essay prompt is giving you an open door to writing a unique essay by allowing you to choose something you have seen, your selection will likely be different from somebody else. But here you are choosing passion something that is always discussed in different types of essays. It’s like NYU opened the door for a unique essay but you just aren’t walking through. Also like someone else said, your idea seems like it will go of topic. Just my opinion. Do what you feel is right. It’s your essay.</p>
<p>This my advice for the intrigue essay (I was just accepted into LSP for ED1!): Make your essay topic truly unique to you. Admissions have to read tons of essay everyday, so you have to make sure your essays at least stand out from the rest. To be honest, “passion” seems like a very broad topic. Maybe you can be a bit more specific about WHAT exactly is your own passion? The whole “underdog” story does seem to be overused. It might help to also center your intrigue essay about your intended major/dream job? That’s what I did! Good-luck!</p>
<p>Well i made it so that i could say that it has influenced me with activism and service/public service, which is shown all over my application, and I plan on studying political science</p>
