<p>One of the essays I'm writing to on the Common App asks for a person who has had a significant influence in my life...I was wondering if I could write about two people. It's not like these two people are separate entities, they work together doing the same thing. I'm just worried that if I write about both of them my essay will be deemed off topic, since the prompt implies one person.</p>
<p>Don’t sweat it. If you really are worried about this, just check “topic of your choice” and you’ll be set, haha.</p>
