<p>it should definitely be more analytical than other essays (like the autobiography one).. but it can also be about something you experienced, so you can use personal pronouns.. and about the source, it wouldn't hurt to site it, or you can just paraphrase it and not site....</p>
<p>Ummm, that's way too technical. Be analytical, but have a heart too. And keep in mind, you are just a high school student...your essay can be smart without being cocky. </p>
<p>Last year we had a pretty exhaustive list of topics on here, you can get an idea for the extent of the essays people wrote. It's only a page, so you can't really go that in depth.</p>
<p>What do you think would be better (or more appropriate, I guess): an essay on the disappearance of languages and how that leads to a lack of cultural diversity + different perspectives, ways of thinking, etc. or an essay about UN reform?</p>
<p>I would definitely say the former. I applied RD, but got in ED to Princeton so I will never know what Georgetown would have said. I wrote about MNC's and their oppression of Latin America, and how I relate to Latin America because im hispanic. The former has more heart in it. UN reform is kind of cliche.</p>
