<p>I did the “what don’t you know” topic… the first couple lines had rhythm in my head so I just went with it for the rest of it… I think it turned out pretty good although kind of short around 300-350 words… Do you think this was too risky?</p>
<p>Whether or not it was, it’s over now. No one here read it so we can’t know.</p>
<p>As long as you didn’t go and try to be something your not, I think using verse instead of prose would at least get you some brownie points</p>
<p>I’m a current student and know of a couple of people who wrote poetry for their essays and are now attending Brown. Not too risky at all.</p>
<p>If you wrote a well written poem that describes you / stays on topic, then you’re fine. haha. it shows an artistic aspect of you</p>
<p>I did the same thing. Kinda wrote it on a whim since I couldn’t really explain what I wanted to say in a conventional essay. Mine was around 250 though :x</p>
<p>PM me, I would like to read it I already applied.</p>
