@iStudyMan I’d only advise you to steer clear of five-alarm terms. For instance, “Gay” has only a couple of interpretations - it is what it is. However, “conservative” can have many connotations and it’s best not to assume that everyone is going to think or categorize similarly. After all, true “diversity” includes viewpoints that don’t always agree with yours - or mine. With all that philosophical and theological training you received at your school, you might consider something relatively transcendent and introspective. Guessing that adcoms don’t get essays like that too often (although they do get a LOT of the “me vs. them” kind). FWIW.
