<p>I have heard some people talk about this question, but I am not quite sure what exactly I am supposed to address. Can anyone post what they wrote about for this essay? Thanks!</p>
<p>i wrote about a childhood summer.. it was a light essay - i wouldnt read too much into it.. show your vibrant side.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice; i was afraid no one would post, out of fear for "tilting their hand" to other applicants.</p>
<p>Yeah, I used it to talk about a personality aspect that wasn't addressed in the other essays. It's basically an open essay.</p>
<p>i would consider it non-academic because they already know you are smart.. so this is one that will set you apart.</p>
<p>im writing about how my computer is a pain in the butt</p>
<p>I wrote about baking sugar-free cookies for my diabetic grandfather, hoping it would show my compassionate side, and the way I wrote it is a little funny (I hope)</p>
<p>Yeah, mine was about moving to Vermont and the quirks of living here, something I really didn't get to explain in the rest of the essay.</p>
