<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I have a question regarding the supplement essay. The prompt talks about using a quote (either one you choose or one they supply) as a theme for the essay. Do I need to actually address the quote I'm using in my essay, or does the content just have to reflect the meaning of the quote?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>The instructions on previous supplements indicated that you need to include the quote at the top of your essay. Other than that, I don’t think the quote needs to be directly used within the essay provided that it makes sense to the reader. </p>
<p>Okay, thanks so much!</p>
<p>Cantiger said it perfectly. Do follow directions, but you don’t need to repeat the quote in your essay. This is the option I picked for my essay last year! It’s a write-about-anything prompt in disguise. :)</p>
