<p>i wrote my yale (scea) supplement essay on a shadowing experience...so yea, it's an ok topic.</p>

<p>bump... anyone else?</p>

<p>Okay, I'll say it:
It's not the topic. It's the way you write it.</p>

<p>My supplemental essay was about how I disagreed with the premise of Yale's question (believe it or not), and I got in. Don't worry about what you're writing about; worry about how you're writing it.</p>

<p>^ I'd like to read that.</p>

<p>yeah lookbeyond, sounds cool, but confusing. I can see one of my friends writing something like that too...</p>

<p>Thanks for the input everyone, its a really well written essay (in my opinion) so i'll send it and see what happens.</p>
