Bad idea to choose a controversial topic for my Georgetown admissions essay on a current global issue?

Doing a controversial topic will show that you have guts. Realize Georgetown and George Washington University want people with initiative. These are law schools and medical schools, they want people to stand for what they believe, they want you to fight for what you believe. That school is built on arguments. Think of it this way if your are not willing to debate a controversial topic then why do you plan to go to that school. That is what that school is meant for. Plus the more interested you are in the topic the more you will have to say about it, as well you will be able to find more facts to back you up because you know what you are looking for, as well then if they bring up your paper in your interview with an alumni then you will not be as worried because you will be able to support your paper on the spot and remember it.
