Anyone else conflicted about what to put on the section that asks about recent books you have read for the pleasure. I have no problem listing the books I have read, but it feels quite wrong to just list some books as my answer. Anyone else conflicted about what to do in this section? Any advice if appreciated.
Do they ask you to describe some of the most favorite, recent books? Or is the language, “List recent books…”
If it says ‘list,’ they really do mean that. It is part of an overall effort to have you show a little of yourself outside of the super student. Think of it as giving them insider information on what makes you smile, laugh, think, etc., without judgment.
@Waiting2exhale thanks for the advice!
Just list them! I applied as a transfer last year and was admitted. I just submitted a list.
Mine had some really obscure books, some religious texts, and some plays. Don’t try to impress someone! Just be yourself!
@cassat I really appreciate the advice! Thanks so much.
