<p>Does the additional essay HAVE to be from one of the possible topics that Harvard suggests? Or can you write about anything? </p>
<p>Thanks for your help! ;-D</p>
<p>Unless they have a topic that reads "a topic of your own choice" I would most definitely answer their topics only.</p>
<p>You can write about anything....</p>
<p>Just look at the wording of the question, with its reference to "possible topics". This certainly implies there could be other topics.</p>

<p>That's what I thought too, but I'm not sure. I have also seen lots of people on here addressing only the topics that Harvard suggested. Should I e-mail the office of admissions? I'm afraid they'll disqualify me...lol.</p>
<p>My supplement topic was nowhere near the topics suggested.</p>
<p>The word possible means that those topics are, you know, possible ones to write on.</p>
