This is such a great question. Both the essay prompt and YOUR question about the essay prompt. And, no, I don't think Climate Change is too big of a topic.... so long as you answer it right. After all, they DID ask you about the "most important issue," and this one seems pretty important!
Of course, approaching a huuuuge topic like that - especially in such little space - the right way is not easy. So how do you do it?
You have to remember what is the question BEHIND the question. What does the school want to know by asking you this specific question? They don't necessarily care about the issue you bring up; what they want to know is what that process of change was like. How did you change? Why did you change? What prompted the change?
When you answer this question, it should show the adcom how you solve problems. Or how you work on a team. Or your ability to be flexible with your perspectives and ideas when working with others. THAT is what the adcom is looking for, so just make sure you're keeping that in mind as you're answering the question. Don't just tell a story about how you used to think one thing about climate change and now you think another; we need to know more about the process of getting from that one side to the other!
Hope that helps!
