<p>about MIT creative essay.
I wrote one about my science project which was a pretty good project and I have mailed supplement material introducing it. But the essay wasn’t very unique.</p>

<p>The other is about my idea of nuclear power. Pure idea with zero real work done. But I did put some novel thoughts in it and it’s original.</p>

<p>Which one should I submit.</p>

<p>If it were between a purely creative essay and a purely personal essay, I’d go for the personal one. While the original one might show your creativity, obviously, I think it’s more important to show MIT your other personal qualities as well.</p>

<p>It seems that both of yours are relating to science, though - doesn’t it ask about something you’ve worked on? The nuclear power idea might fit better in the additional info section; I’d go with the more tangible experience.</p>

<p>The essay is where you can use your own voice, so why waste it for another thing which has less emotion and has been mentioned already in other places?</p>

I agree. Plus nukes are cool.</p>
