<p>So I can't think of anything to write for the essay prompts that are given to us (except for one of them), so I'm probably going to chose the "make up your own question" prompt. So I'm just wondering, is it necessarily bad to choose some trite topic to write about (i.e. a personal experience, important lesson learned, etc.)? Other than those rather cliche essay prompts, I honestly can't think of anything to write about. =/</p>
<p>Have you done any essays for any classes (or even another college app) that you can personalize to UMD? They’d prefer not to read a cliche answer, but if what you’ve got to say is unique, then it will be OK.</p>
<p>Hi, I am a college student who lives in Maryland, but I go to school in PA. I have a 3.09 overall, 3.5 for the third semester so I made the Deens list. Also, I have 46 credits after my third semester at my college. I wish to transfer to UMD. I am a political science major. What are my chances for getting in for fall 2010?</p>
