<p>I am working on my transfer application (due Monday) and realized that my current essay for this question is terrible! I elaborated on the job I am currently working (related to my desired career), but it is boring and uninspiring. In its place, can I elaborate on the research I am currently doing? It is technically for credit hours, but is being done independently and, as far as I can tell is:
1.
outside the regular curriculum or program of courses: football, orchestra, and other extracurricular activities.
2.
outside one's regular work, responsibilities, or routine. </p>
<p>Is this going against the spirit of the question? And, furthermore, should I just explain the nature of the research (which, in my opinion, is pretty cool and would make a good essay), or should it be about how it has changed my life?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. I am just looking for some strategy, I guess.</p>
