Humor is great, but you can’t assume an admissions committee is going to feel the same. It’s a bold route, and probably a good one, but ultimately your essay must have substance.

Whichever essay you feel has more substance to who you are and your personality, go for it. I know the prompts seem “fun” and “creative”, which they are, but try to include as much of YOU as you can. If you are funny and humorous naturally, then the essay will seem natural, as opposed to forced.
