DO NOT under any circumstances try to force out adversity. People are telling you to write about how hard it is to be home schooled, BUT DON’T! You seem as if home schooling doesn’t affect you on a personal level, don’t try to fake it. I made that mistake with my earlier essays; I tried to write about something that I thought was compelling, but in reality it didn’t even affect me. It’ll show in your essays, I promise you. You should also remember that these are ACADEMIC institutions. Although a story about eating your first kit kat may seem interesting to an adcom, is it really something to base an admission off of?
