Okay so prompt #1 on the common app says: "Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. "
Could the identity part include a philosophy that I live by which influences my decisions and personality?
Yep. It’s like a worldview rite?
@RerunGirl Yes, exactly. However, I’m not sure if I can pinpoint a specific story to use as an example, it would just be an overview.
Well, maybe you could use a tough decision when your worldview helped you make a good one? Like which subjects to take, or helping someone out?
@RerunGirl That works! Would that still be answering the first prompt though?
@CTkid47 it depends on how you write it. It could also fit into Q#3, “When did you challenge a belief or an idea” or Q#4 “describe an intellectual dilemma.” (Didn’t exactly quote so u shud check up on me on these ones) The type all depends on the type of decision you arrived at.
