I need help deciding between essay topics

I am sorry to hear about the violence you experienced, but do not write your common statement about being raped.

Besides being a dark topic, your HS GC and/or some college AOs are mandated reporters. Without going in to details, what that means is they have to report this crime to the authorities (whether you ever did or not).

If you want to write about your interest in true crime and anthropology, you can say the impetus was because you experienced (violent) crime (but that still could be an issue to mandated reporters). You do not have to specify what that crime was. I will also say the interest in true crime is currently a popular essay topic.

If the second topic would result in a more cohesive story and application, that is another reason to pick that one.

Also, if your user name is your real name please change it. @CC_Sorin can you help?
