Would it be appropriate?

Applying to College

<p>Do you think it would be appropriate to write an application essay about growing up as an atheist in a heavily religious community? I think it could help me show how I could add diversity to the campus. I am applying to several schools with religious affiliations, but they say they do not discriminate based on religious preferences. I would appreciate your thoughts on the situation.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Have someone read it. It has the potential to be very trite, to be frank. However, if well done, it has great potential too.</p>

<p>As for schools w/religious affiliations, what do you mean? Like Yale which was founded by ministers long ago? or Notre Dame with its current vibrant religious culture? Then you won't be a good fit.</p>
