<p>in one of his local campaign offices, would that be a good essay topic for the common application? </p>
<p>in other words, if I have interned at a local presidential campaign office in my hometown, would this be a good essay topic, and further more, would this impress the college admissions office?</p>
<p>
Adcoms have read/seen everything, and very few things would “impress” them (except for some things, but this doesn’t qualify). Nearly a third of my class spent this summer working for some government official.</p>
<p>However, as to the essay topic, it could be good, if you demonstrated a passion for what you did, rather than just describe what it entailed.</p>
