<p>I’m writing my essay on how anarchy is actually a utopian vision rather than a dystopian one, as it is commonly misconstrued to be. I voice my opinions about certain aspects, but it’s not necessarily about me. Is that alright if I just write about a topic or does it have to be about me?</p>
<p>Also, do you think writing about such a strange topic, especially a controversial one, will hurt my chances?</p>
<p>I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but the topic sounds relatively interesting actually. I just went to a Harvard/UVA/Princeton college meeting and they said they want interesting topics which grab their attention. In the grand scheme of things, controversy is something good in my opinion… it gives them something to think about (as long as the controversy does not revolve around you confessing a crime, etc.)</p>
