<p>Hello there :)</p>
<p>The topic I've written about in the commonapp essay is
"Education beyond academics: What I learned outside the classroom"</p>
<p>In approx 750 words I've tried to describe *the impact * of different activities (sports, debates, organizations) on me. Now, I'm reading that I shouldn't "rehash" my resume into my essay, however, I've mainly talked about how these extracurricular activities have changed me during the past years.</p>
<p>Do you think that would be a problem??</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>PS: I'm the kind of person who thinks of education not only as studying, but a realm of experiences, and most of the stuff on my resume are things that I really love to do, not just membership</p>
<p>I’d have to read your essay to make sure, but in general, unless all of your various interests tie together in a way that you specifically mention in your essay, your essay would have more impact if you focused on telling stories from one or two specific, related activities and how they impacted you. That said, if you can talk about different aspects of yourself that each activity has helped develop, then go for it, but still have someone read your essay to make sure that it’s headed in the right direction. Good luck!</p>
<p>well, I’ve mentioned 2-3 experiences and each of them contributes to something quite unique to my personality. It’s pretty much about the experiences that have made me who I am today :)</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply! :)</p>
