<p>Should the personal statement/essay written be academic in some nature? Especially for top schools?</p>
<p>Any thoughts from students at top schools right now, or anyone in general?</p>
<p>Nope! You should probably avoid it if anything, actually, as if you’re applying to top schools, it’s understood that you’re academically skilled and driven. This is a chance for you to shine as a unique individual that has a great contribution to make to the college community.</p>
<p>Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Awesome; thanks!</p>
