<p>what would be better - an essay focusing on one of my passions? or an essay focusing on why i want to go to Brown?..considering that i want to go to brown reeeaaaalllly badly. if i do a ‘why brown’ essay, would the brown admissions officers think i dont have any interests?</p>
<p>hahaha no worries, you get to do both! the brown app (barring any changes for the 2007-2008 application year) requires that you submit a “Personal Statement” which is just an open-ended essay, so that’s where you get to write about your passion. Also, you have to write a shorter essay on why you want to go to Brown and what you plan on studying and how it suits you, etc, etc. So basically, making such a decision is a non-issue for you. have fun writing them both.</p>
<p>ohh ok, thanks</p>

<p>I didn’t write an essay on why I wanted to go to Brown.</p>
<p>its not really an extended essay–more like, who interested you in brown, and what studies do you want to pursue at brown and why etc, all in the 200 word range (or something like that i believe). the extended essay is your personal essay that could (but doesn’t have to, and probably shouldn’t) say why you want to go to brown.</p>
