<p>One of my essays was a recipe detailing the ‘ingredients’ which composed the University of Chicago (these ingredients were, of course, perfect). It was cheeky, honest, and differently formatted. It was also a real homemade recipe for one of my mother’s homemade dishes.
Another was just a bizarre rant about Terry Pratchett. I just answered the question there.
The third was a sad story about an elderly man and his fading wife. It’s on this forum in the post-your-essay thread.</p>
<p>As you can tell, these essays were all very different in style and content. I was accepted RD this year. </p>
<p>I’d say write whatever makes you go, “Yea, that’s badass.”
But that’s just me.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
