<p>which topic are you gonna choose?
i'm choosing OTHER TOPICS LOL</p>

<p>anyone else doing so?</p>

2

<p>I'm doing other as well. It just seems like the other topics are not unique enough. It'll be hard to write a very interesting, mind blowing essay with them, imho.</p>

<p>I'm doing the one about how would you bring diversity to the campus. I'm writing about my diverse life, even though I'm white. I'm making sure to mention my Mexican step-grandfather, my paiute step-grandfather, aunts, uncles, and cousins, my afghani brother, and my panamanian aunt. I'm also making sure to mention my republican step-mother, democrat mother, independent father, and libertarian step-father, and I'm also mentioning the religious diversity in my family: my athiest mother, my agnostic/deist father, my ghost dance paiute family, and my finatically christian step-mother and grandparents. I'm pretty sure that I can convince them that the white, blond haired girl is the most diverse applicant they have ever dreamed of. Plus, I'm a women applying to Cal tech. That's pretty darn diverse.</p>

<p>That doesn't make you diverse, that makes you an under-represented minority. :)</p>

<p>The one with an experience of local, ... international concern; because one situation of this kind really works for me.</p>

<p>If you're writing your own topic, how do you do that exactly? Do you write the topic at the top or something or just start writing about what you want?</p>

<p>im thinking of influences; however the scope of the prompt seems to be a bit constrictive for the direction i'm headed. i might opt to do a topic of my choice</p>
