<p>The prompt for the Princeton supplement is "Tell us about a person who has influenced you in a significant way." I have a really good idea for this essay, but I'm worried that I won't have much to say about the person, but rather what I learned from the person. While this is what I assume they want, the question doesn't say tell us about an influence, it says tell us about a person. My essay would be focused on the influence of the person, not the person himself. In your opinion, is this OK?</p>
<p>Yes, of course. Go with your instincts. Don’t keep reading it until you get so literal as that.</p>
