<p>I keep having this nightmare where I'm sitting at a desk with a pen in my hand and I'm supposed to write a paper that will either make or break me. I think it's probably because I'm stressed and can't stop thinking about college and what's next. But anyways what type of stuff did you write about?</p>
<p>I don’t feel like recounting all, so just the Common App and the supplement of the school I will be attending in the Fall. My essay was pretty risky, as was “Intended Career: Other - Revolutionary.”</p>
<p>Common App: The plight of the poor and my socialist revolutionary plans.</p>
<p>Notre Dame Supplement:</p>
<p>Essay 1 - The sheer unlikelihood of life and why it should be revered and protected.</p>
<p>Essay 2 - The importance of studying the history of resistance, rebellion, and revolution.</p>
<p>Essay 3 - My reasons for wanting to learn the Irish language, stemming from my Irish Republicanism.</p>
<p>And they say Notre Dame admissions has a conservative bias…</p>
<p>Common app: I wrote about the fact that I’m American on the outside but British at heart.</p>
<p>USC: I wrote about a school project that ended up influencing one of my career goals.</p>
<p>NYU portfolio: I wrote about a song by David Bowie.</p>
<p>I also had to write a statement of intent for nearly every program to which I applied. I was accepted everywhere.</p>
<p>A friend of mine wrote his essays on Pot and his experiences. He is Asian. He was rejected by all Ivies and accepted to Stanford</p>
