<p>On the Common App short essay where you elaborate on an extracurricular, how do you go about that? Are you supposed to be straightforward and explain the activity or be insightful? I'm having trouble with how to approach it.</p>
<p>its better if you be somewhat insightful
its just my opinion</p>
<p>Either approach works. My cousin used straightfwd and got a full scholarship.....I mean there's no right or wrogn way</p>
