Hey guys, I was thinking about how Mr. Laz said we should take risks in the format of our essay, and I thought of this idea.. don't know how it could work but if it did I think it'd be pretty cool. If somehow you could get the initials for the school you are applying to say... Penn State (PSU) and you have parts of your essay written within each letter. I doubt this would work if you are emailing your essay, and I don't even know how you could do it, it may be a crazy idea and it sounded like a good idea when I thought of it. But there is not harm in throwing some ideas out there. Good luck with your essays.

I don't know about that. The essay is supposed to be about you, but it could be something interesting to get their attention.

I never said it wasn't supposed to be about you, but it's a risk in format. But it's different and eye catching...if you were going through a thousand essays and one was in a format like that, wouldn't you be interested in reading it?

My opinion is that you should only take an immense risk like that if you are applying to a college that is a reach for you. The last thing you want to do is send that essay to all of your schools and have all of them reject you. If I were to do a format trick to get attention I would most likely only do it to my reach school.
