How did you choose what to include in the biographical essay?

<p>I started my Questbridge application a little late, but fortunately the only part I still have to complete is the biographical essay. However, I only have two days to complete it and I'm kind of stressing out because I'm not sure what topics to use for it. </p>

<p>I have a few ideas, but I'm unsure of which of those I should use. For those of you that already wrote yours, how did you decide? Did you select one main event to write the essay about (although the prompt does seem to imply multiple), a few events and something to tie them all together, the general situation in which you grew up, or something else?</p>

<p>Choose one and do your best… all of the options you give have all been used successfully. Which one portrays your situation best? Which one lets you tell your story the best?</p>
