Common App Dilemma

Applying to College
1

<p>There is a short 150 word essay on your favorite EC. This is not long enough and I want to know if you are allowed to choose the "other" option for my main essay and write 500 words about the EC that I am very passionate about, and then pick another (like varsity captain/camp counselor) for my 150 word essay.</p>

<p>Also, when you choose the "other" option for my essay should I then title it as to give the adcoms an idea what I am writing about, or will they just figure it out from the essay.</p>

<p>thanks in advance, CB</p>

<p>lol me neither thats funny....but back to the question?</p>

<p>Does it matter if I do two essays about my ECs?</p>

<p>I don't think it matters, though I think it's a good idea to show your non-EC face.</p>
