<p>i'm thinking of writing my college essay in a format thats more or less a a letter. it would be a compilation of lessons, advice, etc that i would give to my younger self. i'm a creative writer so it would be pretty vivid and/or descriptive and incredibly insightful on who i am as a person. would it be too big of a leap do you think? it would certainly stand out from other essay topics...</p>
<p>I’d say definitely write it to see how it turns out. Then get a teacher or some other person whose opinion you respect or who knows about college admissions to read it</p>
