<p>So I am writing this supplemental essay for college application.</p>
<p>The prompt is:"Please share something about yourself that you have not addressed in your Common Application and which may not be revealed in a recommendation."</p>
<p>Any suggestion for me ?</p>
<p>Well, if I were you I would reveal that I’m secretly a super hero and that Batman doesn’t have a damn thing on me.
But I don’t like to save people. I like to push them into wells and off of cliffs.</p>
<p>Any more opinion ?</p>
<p>I (would have, since I was accepted QB at Stanford) talked about my infatuation with roller derby.</p>
<p>We don’t know you, so we can only say what we would talk about. I’d advice that you make it personal, as opposed to talking about something that may not apply to you.</p>
<p>Congratulations to the person above me though!:)</p>
<p>yeah. I have some ideas on my mind. But I don’t know if it will fit or not.</p>
<p>1st: talk about the decision I made around 8 years ago about not going to music school (I was admitted to the National Academy of Music in Vietnam for French horn).</p>
<p>2nd: my new interest in scuba diving.</p>
<p>I don’t know what should I reveal through this essay. Through my app, I show that I am a balance person. I do activities outside of classroom, etc.</p>
<p>Any opinion ?</p>
<p>Ideas are really needed.</p>
<p>The French horn stuff, if you must choose. Because your new interest in scuba diving is good, but it doesnt demonstrate your commitment for a long time (yet), so avoid writing it
BTW, what college are you applying to?</p>
<p>I am applying for Connecticut College (just got rejected from Bowdoin, so it’s time to finish up other apps).</p>
<p>so any more idea of what should I reveal through this essay ? Or what do they really want me to do here ?</p>
<p>Any more opinions ?</p>
<p>I stopped thinking about “what I wanted to reveal through my application” and started thinking about the aspects of myself that made for great essays.</p>
<p>Did you write a story ? or did you just explain your “aspect” ? </p>
<p>The tough point is that this essay should reveal me beyond those qualities that appear on my app and rec letters.</p>
<p>Any other opinions ?</p>
<p>So I have written an essay for this prompt. Can any of you guys take a look at my essay ? I really need some feedbacks since the deadline is drawing close</p>
<p>Can anyone help me ?</p>
<p>Someone help me please !</p>
<p>wow, just think of a topic yourself. we’re not u. we don’t know u. just find something & write about it. not that difficult.</p>
<p>I feel like you’re expecting one of us (who are completely strangers) to miraculously come up with THE perfect essay topic for you. I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will happen. It’s hard enough to come up with a decent (decent, not perfect) essay about yourself. How could we come up with one about someone we don’t know?</p>
<p>Go with what you feel shows more about you. Go in the direction that your heart tugs you in. Or just write numerous essays and choose the one that comes out best. :)</p>
<p>I actually just wrote one so can any of you guys take a look and give me some feed backs ?</p>
<p>You quintuple posted.</p>
