Supplemental essay prompts
We all have distinctive topics for which we have developed passion or expertise. If you were to give a 15-minute speech or a TED talk, what would your topic be and what would you most want your audience to take away? In your essay, you may either describe the speech you would give or convey your message by writing the introduction you would deliver in such an address. In either case, be as specific as possible about your topic.
