<p>hey guys which topic did u choose to write on for the brown supplement and whiat did u basically write ? </p>
<p>eg. what dont u know? i dont know how to impress the brown admissions committee. (one of my friends had written that 
)</p>
<p>I wrote the “I don’t know” just because I thought it was really cool and open ended</p>
<p>I wrote the “academic experience”, the “i don’t know” thingy is kind of stupid for me.</p>
<p>I wrote the “I don’t know” because I thought that a very profound and intellectual response could come out of it and the more unusual/flagged essays would come out of that topic.</p>
<p>I wrote about a book (Atlas Shrugged) that influenced me.</p>
<p>I wrote that I don’t know how to be cool.</p>
<p>i wrote that the best advice i’ve ever gotten came from a fortune cookie</p>
<p>intellectual / project experience. allows me to be more straightforward with my thoughts and articulating my accomplishments.</p>
<p>"what don’t you know? seemed like a trick question or something i had to be really, really creative with.</p>
<p>@evertheoptimist - so who is John Galt? xD</p>
<p>I did the what I don’t know essay as well.</p>
<p>I wrote about my US History textbook, The American Pageant.</p>
<p>Ahh… The American Pageant. The subliminally red book…</p>
<p>Was the “I don’t know…” prompt a new short answer added on this year? Or an alternative for the academic experience essay?</p>
<p>Another reason I chose to avoid the “what I don’t know” prompt: I assumed everyone would choose that one :P</p>
<p>I actually got to the point of drafting a response to that prompt, based around John Galt, but abandoned it :P</p>
<p>I wrote on “what I don’t know,” simply because I can’t think up any decent idea for other two prompts.</p>
<p>i wrote best advice</p>
<p>I thought the “What don’t you know?” prompt was the most creative one. I got in with it and I know several as well that chose this topic, too, who got in.</p>
<p>I wrote the “intelleclectual experience” about reading a quote in a book and having it shape my psyche, attitude, and balance.</p>
<p>I wrote the “intellectual experience” one about my first figure drawing class.</p>
<p>“intellectual experience” about RoboCup week</p>
<p>RoboCup? I want one!</p>
