Which Topic...

<p>I've started brainstorming a list of possibly topics for my admis. essays and have narrowed them down to roughly the following ones, which do you think would yield the best essay</p>

<p>-My work through Model UN (several best Delegate awards, President & Chair, international relations being my intended major/career-field_
-Death of my mom; she became ill early on and i experianced years of medicare/foodstamps/one bedroom apartments, declining health, etc.</p>

<p>I am very sorry for your loss.</p>

<p>A good place to look is this essay from UVa:</p>

<p>Note that the topic of an essay is not the main thing. Any topic can make for a great essay, any topic can make for terrible essay.</p>

<p>The main thing is that your essay should be highly personal, specific, honest, revealing. Ideally, even enlightening. Whatever topic can elicit that degree of personal authenticity and meaningfulness in your writing is a topic you should use.</p>
