Hello! I’m a rising senior and I just wanted some advice about which topic I should submit: one is about an interest that I have which I won’t write in the extracurriculars part (no awards, no clubs related to it) but the other is about a certain incident that happened to me that changed my world views a lot. Both are pretty deep things to me, but I was wondering if a particular preference would be held by colleges?
Thank you!
(added note: I’m leaning towards the first, but I wondered if the second would be better for college apps? Neither are terribly written prose-wise.)
My advice to my daughter would be to write a rough draft for each. You might end up using one for a supplement anyway. After you have your rough drafts you’d probably have a good idea of which one you’d like to use for your CA essay.
@dolomite Thank you for your response! The thing is, I have written both of them and I still am unsure. I think I’m leaning towards using the activity one for CA and the incident one for maybe a supplementary somewhere if necessary.
