Undergraduate / First Cut / Sister's eating disorder - U of M Essay [13]

I like the first idea with your sister's experience. I think that it's a very good idea although you're right with the family dysfunction aspect. I would say make sure that it's not too teenage angst I hate my life. There are millions of people who can talk about the awful things that have happened to them and I like the fact that you decided to focus on another's experience. It should give them something to think about and it will be a lot more interesting than an essay on a book. Try to remember that admissions people read hundreds and hundreds of essays a day, so anything you can say to make yours stick out is always a good thing.

Hope I helped! Sorry if I didn't!
