Undergraduate / Trouble with OSU essay about a multidimensional solution to a convoluted solution. [3]

Here's the prompt:
Complicated problems require multifaceted, complex solutions. Identify a convoluted issue facing society and devise a multidimensional solution. Remember, there is not a correct or incorrect response; therefore, do not invest time trying to develop the single right answer. Instead, tell us what you believe is the issue and propose a solution.

I don't really know how to go about doing this essay; this is like none of the essay's i've written in the past. It seems like this essay would entail a lot of research and very little of my own ideas.

Any suggestions for how to go about writing this essay?

Thanks.

Undergraduate / 'to pursue a human undertaking' - Georgetown significant activity essay [8]

might be too late, but i do see one thing that i would change if i were you.

You should add a wrapping sentence at the end to sum up why this whole experience was significant to you. this sentence if you choose to add it will tie everything back to the prompt and make it much easier for the reader to find the significance the activity had on you--I, for one, had trouble finding it when i skimmed through it very quickly.

Remember this essay is about you not about the water project.

the essay for the most part is very good, but it seems that by the last para you lost focus. instead of getting back to the topic--the significance the activity had on you--the focus remained on the water project and its significance.

Make this one change and your essay will be perfect!

Good luck to you!! i'm also applying to GTown :)
