I’m also applying and hoping to get one of the merit scholarships. Just submitted my app!

My essay was about a “leader” in a game of Diplomacy. If you guys aren’t familiar with it, it’s sort of a variation on risk. Except, every move happens simultaneously, and it is based around, you guessed it, negotiating with other nations (players). I thought it would be a new and fresh take on the essay. A bit of a risky approach, but I really enjoyed writing the essay. I didn’t make any direct connections to the “real world” (even though the game is obviously real, it is still a game) but I think they were implicit.

Best of luck to everyone else!
