<p>Just wondering. For the "Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence" choice on the CommonApp essay, would a character in television count?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>Television would count as a creative work, so I would say yes. Remember, it’s more about your voice and how you write more then sticking directly to the narrowed prompt.</p>
<p>Yeah I think that works, as long as you relate it to how it affected you.</p>
<p>@swattie… by creative work it means the work itself, not a character. But yes, character in fiction could include TV. I know someone who did spider man, and a friend said their friend did spongebob somehow…</p>
