diversity or no diversity

Applying to College
1

<p>I am doing an application right now- one of the 250 word limits is "What would you like us to know about you that may not be revealed in your teacher or counselor recommendations?"</p>

<p>I attend where over 40% of the student's parents are in the military, and 30% of that number is deployed in the war. Our school is very diverse because of the military, do you think that is an insight? If I explain how diversity has shaped my views and the like is it alright?</p>

<p>Or, I could talk about this one time I took a homeless guy out to lunch and sat with him talking for like two hours.</p>

<p>Any opinions?</p>

<p>bummmmp.......</p>

<p>I think the first option fits the question better. However, I might write my MAIN essay on the homeless thing. That's cool, too.</p>

4

<p>I agree with montagne. Both are very interesting.</p>

5

<p>would you consider the military diverse?</p>

<p>Remember, the question is about YOU, not your school. I don't like the first one. It should focus on something that was important to you in high school, such as a program or experience.</p>
