<p>Ok in the common app where it says write 150 words or less about your most meaningful activity and why----do they want it in an essay format? I didn't do it like a formal essay, I started by saying what it was...then talked about a few major things I accomplished in it..and ended with why it all meant so much. Let me know what you guys did. Thanks!</p>
<p>Sounds good. Mine was just a simple paragraph.</p>
<p>Mine was an essay. It was 250 words long.</p>
<p>I think mine was also about 250...</p>
<p>Lol mine was a paragraph and I think it was around 170 words? Why can't we high school students follow simple instructions? :)</p>
<p>I don't think it HAS to be in a formal essay format....it depends on how you interpret the question.</p>
