Cottoncandy - I know many people here at CMC who did their essays on fictional characters without making any large or obvious connections between the book and the real world. I’ve talked to an admissions officer, and what he says is that as long as it’s written well, the subject doesn’t matter too much. In fact, a unique topic like that might help you because it’ll get their attention and possibly amuse them (happy/entertained admin officers are a GOOD thing, trust me lol). And it will make you very memorable. (It’s a small school, so if the admin officers know your name and they’ve read your paper, there’s a good chance they’ll remember which one it was.)

Anyway, best of luck to all of you! I really hope you get in and decide to come because CMC is amazing! =)
