<p>I plan on writing about the person who has influenced you prompt. However, I'd like to write about a comic book character. Do you think this would be ok or would it look bad if I I didn't exactly follow the prompt.</p>
<p>Thanks in advanced!</p>
<p>Doesn’t it say fictional?</p>
<p>No</p>
<p>Option 1 - Tell us about a person who has influenced you in a significant way.</p>
<p>I really think that this won’t do good. The fictional character essay would be more suitable for your Common App Essay. This one has to be a ‘person’ not a comic book character.</p>
<p>As for the influential people essay, most of the applicants are writing on their parents or relatives (which personally I think is very obvious and trivial) and some of them are writing on teachers (common but still a better option).</p>
<p>If I had written on this one, I’d have not taken any generic person.</p>
<p>Hey could you help me too?? The summer essay, what do you reckon is the word limit?</p>

<p>I was thinking about writing about a fictional character too…Hmmm…</p>
<p>I wrote mine on a coach that I had who helped me get to the level where I am now in my sport.</p>
<p>honestly, if this fictional character has truly influenced you in some way, then maybe you could write the essay in a way that would make it work. princeton admissions reads through tons of essays every day… make them laugh and think! that’s my opinion.
