<p>In no more than 300 words, tell us something about yourself that isn't covered elsewhere in this application, some interest or experience of yours that you think the University of Illinois should know about as part of the admissions review.</p>
<p>Basically I'm considering to write about either soccer and how it has been a major part of my life as well as how it's been a tradition to both play and just watch soccer in my family.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Reading novels and how it helps me escape my problems and what it has done for me.</p>
<p>Are both good topics? Which shall I choose?</p>
<p>OR
Should I write about my addiction to an online game and how it took over my life at the age of 11 but I was able to overcome it and finally break the addiction just last year.</p>
<p>BUMP… I heard writing about being a gamer is not so much of a good idea because the admissions office may look at you as a weak candidate for their school and someone who’s likely to drop out due to typical stereotypes and how gamers aren’t able to manage their time wisely. So, what shall my topic be from the 3 that are listed? :D</p>
