<p>For the quote essay, I would like to submit an essay that discusses my struggle with my religious identity. I like to think that it reveals a lot about myself by way of “identity struggle” and also demonstrates intellectual vitality because the points that I raise are significant, but I am also weary that it focuses almost solely on religion. </p>

<p>Would a school like Princeton be turned off my such a focus on religion? </p>

<p>To qualify this question, let me point out that I try to be very careful about how I come across, eliminating any chance of being construed as a religious fanatic.</p>

<p>I doubt Princeton gets many essays about religion since it’s a very touchy subject. If you can pull it off, then you should submit it.</p>

<p>More than the issue itself, let your essay throw light on how you went through your struggle and how you made the decision- in other words, show that you are a mature strong person, able to go through sophisticated thinking and decision process.</p>

<p>Btw, I am pretty sure I read somewhere that most colleges get plenty of religion-inspired essays.</p>
