It doesn't matter what other people wrote in their essays. What matters is that your essay is personal, detailed, honest and revealing--about you. If "crazy" is you, then write a crazy essay and reveal yourself. If "crazy" is not you, don't imagine that you'll improve your chances of admission by attempting a crazy essay. |
