Common App Question!

<p>For the EC 150 word essay, do you straight-up write about what the activity was or do you try to make it personal and creative?</p>

<p>Also, in the Additional Information section, is it soley for extra explanations of circumstances or could one possibly write another essay there?</p>

<p>Don't write another essay there. The adcoms will hate you.</p>

<p>Thought so. Any ideas on the EC essay?</p>

<p>For mine, I'm being creative and personal. If you are bored writing something, generally the reader won't be too happy about reading it either. Anything to make my application stand out among the thousands the adcoms will have to read, I will do it.</p>

<p>I'm being fairly creative with it. as creative as you can be in 150 words. they know what the activity is from the list. they want 150 words to get an idea of why the activity is important to you.</p>
