Write about what makes you stand out as a candidate and how you would add to your major or program. My child (also auto-admit) who graduates this year had a very difficult family tragedy to deal with this past year (though it did not impact his grades), but decided against writing about it in the admission essays and decided to write about what makes him stand out in a positive way. You don’t want to give them a reason to doubt your ability to handle the more advanced programs.
