go with your gut and the one you feel is more you. My son did something similar at another college, and my first reaction was to ask him if he thinks he answered the question (because he did, but in a round about creative way). My son felt strongly about the way he did it, and that is who he is… to do something else would not be authentic. At the end of the day, my son said to me if they don’t get it, and don’t like it then I don’t belong there. The jury is still out (acceptance wise), but I do agree with him and want him to spend the next 4 years in a place that appreciates who he is not a place that would rather he write the same safe essay everyone else will.
