<p>Tufts has an optional essay and one of the prompts is:</p>
<p>a. Use an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper to create something. You can blueprint your future home, create a new product, draw a cartoon strip, design a costume or a theatrical set, compose a score, or do something entirely different. Let your imagination wander.</p>
<p>Could I handwrite some of my poetry onto a sheet of paper and send it in?</p>
<p>That is the most awesome essay prompt I have ever seen.
I think the poetry sounds like a great idea - the only thing that would concern me is that, with such an open-ended prompt, you could so something WAY more creative and really stand out. So if you’re going to submit poetry, it better be one amazing poem haha!
Good luck :)</p>
<p>I know- there is so much I can do with it! Thanks for the advice.</p>
