Oh? To which university and what is the main topic?

Yeah.

Well, you can say, "I shall be involved in many social activities in the school, as I have previously done in high school..."

Try the University of Chicago. They always have the most interesting application topics. I had to do the same thing, And I have to say that the University of Chicago had the best by far.

While visiting Chicago a couple years back, they told us one of their previous essay topics was what you would do with a humongous jar of mustard.

Well I want to stay closer to home.

You could use a giant jar of mustard to move the entire city of Chicago.

Well, try my or captainpea's location's local universities!

Also, a state would actually help you narrow down your choices...

Then try the Ivies. What's your major?

I would say MIT...but depending upon how good you are in school, you might want to narrow your options...New York University, maybe?

Well, I'm not deciding on a college YET, this is just a school assignment.

If I may make a suggestion, don't start your college education at a prestigious University.
The first 2 years of college education can be seen as basics, so you don't need a professor to teach it to you.
Community colleges are much, MUCH cheaper and you will still learn what you need to know.
Your credits will then be transferable to a University so you can continue your studies in aim of a higher degree.

I know you aren't deciding yet, but it helps to have it on mind.

Huh...Invent a story up. Make up an amusing story that sets you apart from everyone else, because they pretty much want to see your level of writing (well, at least most universities). So, you don't have to be honest. Just be pseudo-you.

Yeah, most of them involve something about yourself, I have yet to choose.

I would suggest against lying about yourself on ethical grounds.

Community colleges are much cheaper, by far. But not all credits from a community college will transfer to all 4-year universities (most will, but not all), so it's always a good idea to check.

i assume your being facetious, but i agree.

No, I actually do suggest against lying about yourself.

Why should I?

Include a couple twenties with your essay. Some teachers will find that very persuasive.

Critical-thinking skills, increased persuasive abilities, and general well-roundedness.

That would also be a cliche' that they want us to avoid.
