College Essays

<p>I know a lot of people are having this basic question and I need some concrete advise. I am applying to top biomed schools and want to know whether I should relate my essay to a medical/science related experience like working in a lab or my SEAP Internship for two summers, or should I choose something completely different (which I easily can). Which looks better to these colleges (especially biomed): the fact that I wrote something that pertains to my future field (and thusly, them) or just something else completely?!</p>

<p>Really need some advice! Thanks!</p>

<p>it all depends on how you approach the topic, man. don't write about what you think adcoms want to read, write what you're passionate about.</p>

<p>very true, but I am pretty passionate about biomed and I was wondering if writing about that would be better than something else altogether? I can go either way with the "passion" but I am wondering if showing my passion for biomed will be better otherwise</p>
