Common App Essay Question

<p>For the 150-word essay about an extracurricular activity, do I just explain what my job was or the "passion" I had towards the extracurricular?</p>

<p>Help appreciated.</p>

<p>you should probably focus on the specific nature of the activity (what it was, level of involvement, etc.), particularly if it's a lesser known activity. A couple of sentences about your passion for it - especially well-written ones - can never hurt. Take any opportunity you can to show off your writing abilities!</p>
