<p>For my first choice school (American U) I have to write an essay about whether I think the internet is a positive or negative force in today’s society.</p>
<p>I honestly did try to write that it is a positive force, but for some reason I was struggling with it…</p>
<p>So I wrote that it is negative, and it turned out better.</p>
<p>Do you think that decreases my chances of getting in? Is it a disadvantage to be so negative?</p>
<p>maybe itll help? Theyll think your an old school peep?</p>
<p>I don’t think so…I think they’ll want to see what you say not which side you agree with…if I said negative, then I probably would’ve wrote about how kids these days don’t go outside and play (rather than use the internet and video games indoors)…</p>
<p>Your conclusion won’t affect your chances of getting in. How well you present and defend that conclusion could.</p>
<p>I don’t think so . What they are really lookin at should be your ability to develop your idea and the the critical thinking ability.</p>
