<p>Georgia Tech:
Please expand upon an aspect (s) of your academic or extra-curricular background that you feel is especially important to you and that will help us to get to know you as a person.</p>
<p>The extra-curricular background part is pretty clear, but when it says "academic background" what does that mean? Would that include writing about a class you've always enjoyed and what you've done outside the classroom to pursue extra education/activities for that academic subject and how it relates to you?</p>
