<p>Ok. The short answer asks you to explain one EC and how it has affected you. Unfortunately, the essay I've been planning is essentially the real life lessons that rock climbing exhibits...seeing as that's an EC, and is essentially the short answer prompt, should I nix that as my essay? The existence of the short answer sort of makes it impossible to write about any of your ECs without seeming like you're just repeating your short answer :-/</p>
<p>Yeah I chose 2 different ECs. Research is probably actually my most meaningfull EC, but I wanted to write about it for the long essay so I chose a sport for the short one.</p>
