The May 6th Wall Street Journal had an interesting and refreshing article on the college admissions process. Their challenge requires presidents of various colleges to complete the essay section of their school’s application. Upon reflection, some offered some very astute advice:
“Stop trying to come up with the perfect topic, write about personally meaningful themes rather than flashy ones, and don't force a subject to be dramatic when it isn't.”
