Common app essay question.

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>One of the essay questions is
Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.</p>

<p>I've chosen to write about a significant experience, however just for clarification, does this mean the question is</p>

<p>Evaluate a significant experience and its impact on you.
OR
Evaluate a significant experience you have faced and its impact on you.</p>

<p>, because I sent my essay for critique with the latter statement as the prompt, and was told that I hadn't written enough about the 'trial/ordeal' which the words 'you have faced' would imply. When I read the question now, it seems clear that the first statement is the intended one.</p>

<p>ty.</p>

2

<p>anyone?..</p>

3

<p>you could do either, as long as you identify how it impacted you. thats the most important thing.</p>

4

<p>hi…</p>

5

<p>I believe its:
a significant experience
or an achievement
or a risk you have taken
or an ethical dilemma you have faced.</p>

<p>You don’t face a significant experience. You do face an ethical dilemma.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
