In this episode, I reveal the most clever college admissions essay prompt I have ever seen.
It's a question that attempts to stop students from writing a terrible essay before they have a chance to do so.
You may remember a similar premise in the 2002 Tom Cruise movie "Minority Report", where a pre-cog would have a vision of a future crime, triggering the dispatch of a special unit police officer to intervene before it happens.
This is exactly what this question does.
It forces students to scrap the generic essay that they were about to write, and replace it with something better.
Please listen to this episode to see how they pull off this feat.
