The spice of life is its variety. The beauty of this nation is our ability to express ourselves freely. It’s kind of like the Rorschach ink blot test–many different people will have many different impressions of the same thing. Rohan, you believe that commonly used topics are clique; I believe that commonly used topics are often that way because they key into the heart of a school’s identity. My essay twenty whatever years ago dealt with faith–I’ll bet it was far from the only one. What one sees as trite and cliche, another might see as heartfelt.

Point is, we’re not sitting at that table. We don’t know. Best bet, then, is to go with instinct.

Bottom line, an average essay is not going to take away from strong test scores, EC’s and academic record. And a stellar one will not act as a substitute.

Good luck to you, Rohan, as well as to Smarter Turtle.
