<p>Hey y'all!</p>
<p>So I just find it interesting to see what everyone choose as the extended essay prompt. So please, feel free to share which prompt you chose, and if you like, give a little description on how you wrote your essay.</p>
<p>I personally chose the "between living and dreaming" prompt, and approached it from a purely scientific/psychology position.</p>
<p>“Time you found something you weren’t looking for.” I wrote about finding a robin’s egg in my yard when I was five and breaking it accidentally.</p>
<p>I picked the dream one, and wrote about literally nothing. I was really happy with the finished product but I feel like I didn’t really have a strong and direct thesis…</p>
<p>I did between living and dreaming, like it seems almost everyone did. I did mine in sort of short story format. It was really like 3 little snapshots into 3 peoples lives.</p>
<p>I did the from Play-Doh to Plato one. It’s about an aspect of my development and finding my true aspiration.</p>
<p>Living and dreaming. I wrote about guessing 
I have a very limited science background, but I threw in a Schrodinger reference. It is shorter than most, but I think it turned out well.</p>
<p>Daughter responded to the from Play-Doh to Plato prompt.</p>
<p>I’m torn between playdoh-plato in which I use stream of consciousness and a time I found something I wasn’t looking for in which I explain how I concluded there’s an order to the universe.</p>
<p>I wrote 6 words for the ‘reverse psychology’ prompt.
You read it right. 6 words.</p>
<p>^You might get in on sheer cheek alone… </p>
<p>I did the between living and dreaming one. It’s a little over a page, double-spaced…</p>
<p>Am I the only one who chose the prompt that allowed you to ask any question!?! I think it was the fifth one…</p>
<p>I did pose your own question as well</p>
<p>Yup, I made my own question.</p>
<p>Am I the only one that did the “unscientific” method?</p>
<p>What 6 words did you write?</p>

<p>Complying with policy on plagiarism I can’t disclose what I wrote. But I could vaguely describe my 6 words as breaking-the-fourth-wall and hyper-critical.</p>
<p>I posed my own question</p>
<p>Between living and dreaming.</p>
<p>I answered the question with a one-word title and showed how that one idea applied to me with my essay.</p>

<p>I did from Play-Doh to Plato as well, took a pretty lighthearted approach.</p>
<p>Good luck to everybody here.</p>
<p>As for the six-word essay, that’s not something I would advise RD applicants to replicate. This school does greatly emphasize writing ability, after all, and the purpose of the extended essay is to get a good reading on yours. Though writing six words may make you seem fascinating or mysterious (to an extent- I can guarantee you the gratuitously short essay is a stunt that has been pulled before), it is impossible for these six words to show you have an intellectual capability.</p>
