2 essays, same topic

<p>Would it look bad if I wrote 2 essays for a school about the same activity?</p>

<p>I'm talking about Georgia Tech here, and they want 3 essays in total.</p>

<p>I wrote an essay for:
Describe an intellectual or creative activity for which you feel special passion and commitment, and explain how that activity has affected you.</p>

<p>The essay was about debate, and how it relates to my interest in science.</p>

<p>Another topic I was about to address is:
Share an experience in which you have confronted intellectual, social, or cultural differences, and explain how that experience has affected you.</p>

<p>Debate fits this perfectly because every debate involves encounters with people with intellectual and political differences. Would it look bad if I wrote about this for my second essay? I'm not even a debate captain, but I have won awards, and debate is one of my interests.</p>

<p>Note: My third essay is their main one and I wrote it about an engineering internship.</p>

<p>I think it's okay to write two essays touching on your extracurricular activity of debate and to slant each one to the very different prompt. Just make sure not to repeat information given in one essay. I agree that debate fits the "differences" essay nicely. I think describing your encounters with other debaters could be very interesting.</p>
