I’ve written most of the supplement, however, I have a question about their optional academic question:
“Your intellectual life may extend beyond the academic requirements of your particular school. Please use the space below to list additional intellectual activities that you have not mentioned or detailed elsewhere in your application. These could include, but are not limited to, supervised or self-directed projects not done as school work, training experiences, online courses not run by your school, or summer cademic or research programs not described elsewhere.”
One of my main ECs is a 12 hr/wk job I’ve had for over a year. The job is focused on customer service and I’ve had training sessions in conflict de-escalation, LGBT+ sensitivity, company computer safety, and disability sensitivity. I know they say “training experiences,” in the prompt, but it seems like the adcom is looking for more intellectual or academic pursuits, so my question is should I write about these experiences for this question? Or should I just omit it?
