<p>How creative are you as a writer? The essay is VERY important.</p>

<p>i think im pretty funny/witty</p>

<p>does the essay hold that much weight?
honestly i hope so because my gpa transcript is lacking</p>

<p>I think I got in on my essay alone. It’s THAT important. But I’ve heard that the admissions people appreciate risk-taking on the essay, so I think you might want to try to avoid cliches, even though when you see it’s -that- important people tend to want to be conservative. </p>

<p>If it’s unweighted, your GPA is very competitive, so I wouldn’t worry about that. The essay is still a big thing though.</p>
