<p>I added a quote from Obama in my essay (pick ourselves up...dust ourselves off)
If the school i'm applying to is in a somewhat conservative area, could this work against me?</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>i don’t think it should. and even though i’ve experienced the application process and such, i wouldn’t simply trust my opinion…</p>
<p>but i really don’t think the adcoms will discriminate like that. i don’t see anything wrong with an opinionated student.</p>
<p>i don’t think so. It could even help you. If it is a very GOP school they might welcome someone with a Liberal view point.</p>
