<p>I’m having a lot trouble with the “Why Brown” essay. I’ve been looking on various threads on CC and beyond and almost all of them talk about the open curriculum or the pass/fail system etc. However I also know that a significant portion of the Why Brown essays are going to talk about that. I was also told by some people that I should mention specific professors and courses that the school offers. In addition, I don’t really want to talk about anything “academic” in a sense. I was more leaning to the social aspect of Brown instead. For instance I was thinking I could talk about how for most of my life I feel like I’ve been in one big competition with other people and with Brown I’ll finally get to experience that non-competitive but still academically challenging atmosphere…Ugh I don’t know this is really frustrating me. Any and all help would be appreciated.</p>
