Another Form 3A (Chem/Phys/Engineering/CS statement) question....

I'm a little unsure of how to approach this essay: "What concept in your anticipated major were you most proud of mastering?"

Are we expected to write an essay that demonstrates our understanding of the concept? Like, an essay on what the concept is, why it works, how it happens, etc?

Well, I've written it. I'm just not sure what they're looking for with this prompt; my essay was more technical than revealing, I think...

Oh well, shouldn't be stressing so much over this one.

Well, it's open ended so it could be technical, which would reveal nothing about you, or you could write why you are proud of mastering it. Or how you did it etc. Basically a mini essay.

Brown is EVIL - I had no idea that there were extra essays you had to write if you designated those technical majors until I actually saw the 2nd part of the application.

Since I did not know about these essays until basically 30 minutes ago, I refuse to write an actual essay for it.
