New to the forum. If i talk about how i had a serious illness sophmore year of high school where i was hospitalized for 5 days, is that too generic and looking for sympathy or is that a good idea? I would be applying it to the prompt of what ended childhood and started adulthood / later years. Thanks for the help.
That’s not a good response to the prompt. Save that explanation for the special circumstances section of the app.
but if i convert it to how it ended me being able to play sports, and how it opened up new doors where I now run my own business with over 40,000 dollars in sales and how i donate and volunteer to the american kidney fund (with a portion of my profits), still not a good response?
I still don’t think that’s what the prompt is asking. You could, if done correctly, squeeze that into prompt 1.
yea i understand where you are going. Do you think its interesting though? Like a prompt to write about
Interesting is all in how you tell your story. The essay is about telling them about you as a person apart from your numerical stats. Be introspective, enthusiastic and humble and write well.
