Small Victories

Wharton has been holding a writing competition for all 1st years, where 1st years are divided into groups of 6 and over three rounds they write three essays. The top scorer from each group gets to proceed to the semifinals. I'm one of those people!

The essay topics over the three rounds were:

1) If you could compose or perform music, which would you choose and why?

2) What is your favorite city and why?

3) Describe a time when you could have changed something said during an interview. This could be something said by an interviewer or interviewee.

What would you say in response to these questions?

Getting to the finals is tough though. Out of the approximately 137 people in the semifinals, I have heard that only 6 are selected to the finals. In a school where it's hard to shine because of the talent around you, this is indeed a small victory for me :)
