<p>No. Literally that is the one topic you should <em>NOT</em> write about. Think about the fact that you want to make your essay help you stand out. Choosing the MOST generic, overused topic (Why Pitt) is not going to help. Plus there is a good chance that anything you say in that paper the admissions committee has already heard before. </p>
<p>Pitthopeful, we can’t give you a topic since we don’t know you and are not you. You should pick a topic on which you are passionate and can write a good 2 page essay (maybe a club you loved or an experience you had traveling, for example). If you can relate it back to your college experience (or what you hope to do in college), that helps, but is not really necessary. The essay is to help the admissions committee get an idea of the kind of person you are.</p>
