<p>I was wondering if my Yale essay is on a good topic. I wrote it about how I come from a small, rural town and how I wasn’t even thinking about applying to Ivies until 4-5 months ago. It’s definitely sincere and heartfelt, and the grammar/spelling is perfect as far as I can tell. I just thought it might make me stand out as opposed to writing about some accomplishment or another.</p>
<p>Any second opinions?</p>
<p>be honest, be sincere, be frank, and be unpredictable.</p>
<p>How about this advice?</p>

<p>Its more about how you write it, not neccesarily about what you write. As long as you’ve said something meaningful about yourself, you’ve written a good essay.</p>
