"Why _______ Major?" as main CommonApp essay

<p>Without going into too much detail...</p>

<p>I'm strongly set on my particular major and have many rather personal reasons for wanting to pursue it that I prefer not to discuss. I strongly believe that if I could pull this essay off it could be my ace in the hole. So I have some questions...</p>

<p>1)Would this be an acceptable commonApp main essay? </p>

<p>2)What would be the implications of this with colleges that have you write a why ____ major essay as a supplement?</p>

<p>3) If I end up doing this and my Q#2 becomes an issue, could I just focus on specific program strengths for different colleges in those types of supplements?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, CCers!</p>
