I feel like the Kellogg's essays are hardest to write...

I can't seem to fit any of my old essays into #2 or #3... gotta start from stratch really (at least I have the same stories/themes readily available).

Hey just a quick survey of whoever's out there: for #3, did you guys write your essay as 1st person or 3rd person?

"The committeee should select me because I'm a perfect fit for Kellogg ..." or "As a member of the committee, applicant Joe is an ideal candidate for admission because of blah blah..."
