Essays

<p>Hi everyone. I finished writing my essays for my apps and I had a question. I realized from reading some of your posts that it's beneficial to write about an ec/passion? I didn't do that for my common app or supplemental essays and I was wondering if it really would actually benefit me. I've done some stuff that would be impressive to explain in an essay, but I thought it would be arrogant or lame. Plus, I already have two very unique, very personal essays that talk about things that have changed my life. So what do you think?</p>

<p>i don't know if I am the right person to say this, but personally i thought it would be bragging to list what I have achieved (not that I have achieved much anyway) so I ended up writing essays about my dad and independence. these two worked for me.</p>

<p>I think it is a good thing to focus on the impact your EC/passion had on you, but a bad thing to capitalize on how wonderful you and your accomplishments are.</p>
