<p>So, for the big question, what did you write about?</p>
<p>I discussed how I have a mild form of high functioning autism, and how it has made me into who I am today. I also wrote about how I turned down the chance to be on MTV’s “Made.”</p>
<p>Wow. Well, I wrote about a personal challenge that was instrumental in shaping my love for words, and I continued by telling a secret place I go with my words. Ahh, I dunno. A lot of it was imaginative and creative... abstract, I guess you can say...</p>
<p>I feel kind of ridiculous after reading what you guys wrote about,
but I took a chance and wrote about taking the train every day. lol</p>
<p>i wrote about a unique achievement</p>
<p>I wrote about how my passion for music influences my second passion for entrepreneurship. The two paradoxes actually are similar in my essay.</p>
<p>I wrote about moving.</p>
<p>i definately did not use my common app essay.... :-|</p>
<p>oo i am so sneaky. teehee.</p>
<p>so technically we can use our common app essay...</p>
<p>...Which is exactly what I did.</p>

Same. Even though I could've, I decided that I could write something better.</p>
<p>puzzling- I think collegelyfe4me did use the common app essay. although I could be wrong</p>
<p>i did haha, sarcasm does not cut the (wireless) lines of the internet.</p>
<p>umm...well i was about to put my common app essay that talks about my experience working in a lab, but the prompt that brown gives made me feel that it should be more straightforward, and i decided not to use my common app essay(which was a narrative).</p>
<p>i just talked frankly about how much i loved science and why, and why i do what i do</p>
<p>I wrote about overcoming my eating disorder and social anxiety, and how it inspired me to want to become a psychiatrist.</p>
<p>I used my MIT essay. I thought it conveyed their topic better than my Common App one.</p>
<p>Anyways, it was about poverty in the Philippines and my experiences on a community service trip there.</p>
<p>ok look im not gonna lie, i wrote three main essays and two secondary ones....and i just adapted them for all my schools. it worked out really well too.</p>
<p>ps i used my MIT secondary essay for witty brown extra info</p>
<p>I used my common app essay (topic of your choice) and wrote about an experience in which someone saying two simple words to me drastically influenced me and confirmed my character.</p>
<p>oh actually, I talked about Sudoku, not moving.</p>
<p>When they said "tell us something about yourself that will help us get to know you," I took them at their word and simply wrote about who I was, what I like to do, my favorite books, and my general outlook on life, etc.</p>
<p>I wrote about my name.</p>
