common app activity short answer question

<p>Okay so extra currics arent my strong point and i already talked about my main and most important one in my essay, and i dont think i should talk about it more in the short answer.
the one other thing i can think of writing about is yoga which i have been doing for a few years now. I know this isnt really the type of activity that gets you into college, but i wrote a paragraph about it and i feel like its somewhat interesting and shows why its important to me. however, i know this isnt the type of activity thats usually talked about on college apps. soo.... good or bad idea? is it risky? i dont know what else to write about.</p>

<p>I would go for whichever activity tells a good story about how it helped you to improve as a person. Yoga, since you do seem to have a great interest in it, would be great, and since it is uncommon, it is even better because it will give you a chance to stand out. I’d say go for yoga. :)</p>

<p>I actually think writing about Yoga and how it affects you and your “personality” is a great idea; it shows discipline (yoga generally requires that, as well as patience) and they want to see some other part of you as a person instead of a repeated resume in an essay form.</p>
