<p>So for my normal essay I am writing about my main EC and of course how it changed me and all of that. So the question is I shouldnt write about that same EC for the short essay right? I should choose a different EC?</p>
<p>Choose something different. For example, I wrote my main essay on this fundraiser I set up that raised $3,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association. Then, for the short answer, I developed a nice little claim that argues the impact International Baccalaureate had on my progression as a student, thinker, and person. That one definitely needs to be compact, packing a punch in around 125 words. Don’t merely “explain” one of your extra-curriculars, but instead argue its impact on you, similar to what I did with I.B.</p>
<p>I don’t know, hopefully that helped…</p>
<p>Yes you did! Thanks!</p>
