This summer Megan will focus on different college application essay topics, pinpointing common pitfalls and offering suggestions for strong responses. Today’s topic:top three things your future roommate should know about you (from the Harvard application.)
— don’t overthink your response. What do roommates really want to know?
— this type of topic allows you to be real and have a little fun with your response.
— even with light topics, you need the same level of thoughtful writing and editing that you apply to your other essays.
