<p>Do we have to do one of the suggested topics for the common app essay, or are both essays open ended?</p>
<p>Open-ended .</p>
<p>i did the common app. as “topic of your choice” and obviously the supplemental also topic of my choice</p>
<p>if you choose “topic of your choice”, do you have to state a “question” that you will respond to?</p>
<p>i dont think so…(to question above)</p>
<p>also, what do you guys think about using an quotation that is like 3 lines long? i m thinking of using it as a cinch</p>
<p>personally I’ve read somewhere that using quotations to end your essay isn’t the best idea since they’d rather hear you say it instead of relying on someone else’s words to wrap up your essay</p>
<p>but if it sounds nice and you can’t think of another way to end it, it could work</p>
