<p>So I’ve been looking at some sample essays…and I read an essay where the applicant had to choose three objects that describe themselves and write about why…</p>
<p>This topic seemed to be pretty common, I read about three essays with this topic in one book. </p>
<p>Which college’s essay topic is this?</p>
<p>I believe GWU had that (or something similar) as an essay topic (might have been an option for the honors program).</p>
<p>Colleges don’t stick with the same essay topics forever, though, so the essay topic you’re looking for could have been “retired” at whatever colleges used to use it now. Surely, the book where you found the essays also listed what colleges the essays were for?</p>
