<p>What should it be about?</p>
<p>A personal experience? Or you’re outlook on an international issue? etc?</p>
<p>The topic is at your choice. You can write about anything you want.</p>
<p>So would writing say about my hostility to modern art a viable topic? Or would you think it’s better to write about oneself?</p>
<p>If your hostility for modern art reveals something about yourself, for example if it has taught you to value good art, write about the effects it has over you. Don’t just describe your opinions, after all, it’s an essay about who you are.</p>
<p>Oh, don’t do that. Yale is the epicenter of the modern art world. That is a fact. It is almost impossible to be taken seriously as an artist without an MFA from Yale, nowadays. Look at every other college out there, and if their program is any good, the professors went to Yale of RISD for their MFA. You knock modern art and you will insult Yale’s strongest department. Yale is the Modern art world. And you are either woefully ignorant of Modern art, or ignorant of Yale’s role in it. I fear that if you write this essay you will either sound like you didn’t research Yale, or that you formed a hate for something you hadn’t explored, making you seem close minded.</p>
