<p>Hi, In my essays, I am considering talking about how I grew up in a multi-religious environment (my dad is christian and my mom is hindu) and the way that I dealt with the confusion and pressure.</p>
<p>Do you think this is a good topic?</p>
<p>Your best topic is the one that gives you your best chance to be personal, honest, specific, revealing, and, ideally, enlightening.</p>
<p>The topic that would work best for me or for other posters may not be the one that will work best for you.</p>
<p>For some good essay advice from UVa, see</p>
<p>I agree with ADad. I think it'd be an interesting topic. What matters if whether or not you think you could make it an interesting essay.</p>
<p>I'm an activist, so I recommend writing about something "progressive." Take a stance on a huge issue and defend it. It shows that you really think about about important things. I recommend commenting on...the nature of progress...or human potential for prosperity or destruction. Of course, you MAY come off as too agressive, but I haven't spoken to any admissions oficers who've warned against it. Maybe you should call or email an admissions counselor for guidelines.</p>
