<p>This is one of the question on one of my chosen school's short question and i dont know how to answer it. I have an idea but i don't know how to word it</p>
<p>…what’s your idea? You can pm me if you want, I’m a current student at Exeter.</p>
<p>@ickleronniekins-Can You chance me?</p>
<p>@Exeterrr,
Don’t hijack threads.</p>
<p>@chuppybn,
Is this the essay on community for SPS? If you’re having trouble wording it talk to your English teacher and see if she can help.</p>
<p>EDIT: I just remembered that on the SPS application you can’t have anyone edit it.</p>
<p>Nah it’s not for SPS, i’m not applying there, but this question is pretty common with most of the boarding school’s application.</p>
<p>If you don’t have the main point immediately, then you don’t have anything nothing special to contribute.</p>
<p>^uncalled for… </p>
<p>The OP might be as smart/smarter than you. So PLEASE don’t attack people personally; it’s just a rude thing to do.</p>
<p>@SnapePotter,
No, he had the point he just didn’t know to word it. Read his post before attacking him.</p>
<p>And seriously, you need to stop attacking people. Every other post, I see you attacking someone or making a snide remark.</p>
<p>Actually i didn’t “attack” the OP so it would be you two decrying me as an attacker. OP is probably smarter than me by far. and all of you must be so humble.</p>
<p>You should know yourself well enough to know (or at least outline) what you can contribute. Otherwise you won’t stand out. That’s the point subject to much hardship because people like you take things personally. You guys need to serious take a step back before you accuse publicly. </p>
<p>Did I say that anyone in particular was unable to do what I mentioned? You need to “Read his (my) post before attacking him (me).”
Honestly, you think you’re going to be an eminent CC poster for slaying people who make short, quick remarks like I do. Obviously you haven’t read my other replies to your accusations. It’s getting pretty damn annoying. </p>
<p>It seems Asians are the majority of this forum.</p>
<p>@SnapePotter,
What other “accusations”? I have barely made any contact with you on these forums. I think this one of the few times I have ever directed a post at you. If I have, link to that post. </p>
<p>And I’d say that the two most prominent ethnic groups are white and asian. I’m white, but I know that there are a lot of asians on this forum.</p>
<p>Lol, I’m not Asian… </p>
<p>Getting back to the point, honestly, I don’t have anything against you. You’re probably an awesome person. And the OP is probably smarter than me (too?) 
I just think that what you said really was a personal attack. Saying the OP doesn’t have anything special to contribute is basically saying he (she?) wouldn’t make it at a BS, and doesn’t deserve to get admitted. I understand you are entitled to your own opinion, but it would be greatly appreciated if everyone on this forum just learned to hold their tongues.</p>
<p>@ifax-I’m not, but I can. Wow</p>
<p>@Exeterrr,
Lol please don’t. Sorry if I came off as being short. And I’m guilty of this as well, I mean this thread was about an essay and now look where it went.</p>
<p>How about an example? You guys don’t have to put what you guys putted on your application, just make it up? I just wanna see how its suppose to be worded</p>
<p>@chuppybn,
Well, this isn’t what I used,but you could say that you have a lot of leadership experience. You could have gone to a junior BS. So, you could talk about how being a leader in that kind of situation will help you be a leader and contribute to (insert school here)'s community.</p>
<p>@ifax-Ok, sorry.
@(OP)- I have an idea to help You word what You want to write-When You arrive at that school, what will You exploit that at that school that will make You unique-It could be a number of sports or instruments that You are Great at that is uncommon. Why will You contribute to the harkness table and how? Also how is the manner You exploit the Harkness table different (better?) than others? Begin Your Essay with an interesting opening and I promise the words will FLOW from there! Best of Luck!</p>
<p>How many should i talk about?</p>
<p>Well, I talked about (SHORTLY) four things that make me who I am and how that will benefit that school’s community. Btw, I still haven’t started my last essay yet (NO!) Lol</p>
<p>I already finished the essay, all im doing now is finishing up the short answer questions. So maybe 1 or 2?</p>
<p>BUT that was for the long essay so I would say talk about 3 or four things and really make them worthwhile for the AO’s</p>
