<p>So I was browsing Collegedata and I saw that most of my high reach schools only 'consider' Character/Personal Qualities while placing high emphasis on Particular Talent/Ability.</p>
<p>Does this mean that I should change my Common App into something that is more reflective of particular skill (e.g. Math or something)?</p>
<p>I was taught to write an essay that reflects personal voice and good character. It does not reflect as much intellect as I would like... </p>
<p>Or am I misinterpreting what Particular Talent/Ability and Character Qualities are? Is Character Quality more so related to what comes across in recommendations??</p>
<p>After all, Essays are ranked IMPORTANT as well so I guess a good essay is a good essay regardless of what it describes.</p>
<p>2) Level of Applicant's Interest -- this is a different matter to how much 'interest' you show in your supplement essays right? If I am correct this is referring to stuff like University visits etc. right???</p>
