<p>Just how knowledgeable are the Admissions officers who are reading the essays? Should they be able to understand everything that you understand? Any examples?</p>
<p>nope, they are only knowledgable to the extent of any other normal person, so i guess dont try to confuse them</p>
<p>You’re writing for a general audience, so no obscure references. Adcoms don’t have that much time for each essay; make it easy for them and you’ll come across better. If you think your essay concept demands specialized knowledge, rethink your concept.</p>
