<p>Hey im early decisioning to Northwestern but is it better to write an essay about a serious family situation in which i "grew" ... or a humorous essay about a lighter topic?
thanks!</p>
<p>Which one better fits your personality?</p>
<p>To be honest most admissioners get sick of reading sob stories…It would be much better to make them laugh than to make them cry</p>
<p>yeah, I agree…</p>
<p>use humor in your piece! </p>
<p>although if you can make the admissions officer laugh and cry at the same time then you’re prettty much a made man.</p>
