<p>I have a dilemna regarding my Yale Supplement. I am applying SCEA, and I have two possible choices for the Yale Supplemental Essay.</p>

<p>One choice (conservative option) is to send an essay discussing how I am a math/science person who took a creative writing class. It discusses being outside my comfort zone and how I've learned from it, etc.</p>

<p>The second choice (riskier) is to send, as the supplement, something I wrote in my creative writing class, with a brief explanation of my creative writing experience and what the prompt was. This is very, very humorous, and everyone who has read my response to this prompt has loved it.</p>

<p>Advice? Play conservatively or be a little risky? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I think that you should go with the risky one!</p>

<p>the conservative one would work as the essay... but if the risky one stands out, they'll love it... i say go with the risky one</p>

<p>I'm with risky too, if everyone likes it.</p>

<p>Depends on the rest of your application. If you think you'll already get in, go conservative; if you need something more, take a risk.</p>

<p>Thanks for everyone's help. I think I am going to go with the risky one.</p>
