Im all out of idea. plz help

<p>So im applying to this summer program in New York and they want me to write a personal statement "describing academic preparation, personal interests, and motivation for participating in an intensive academic program"</p>

<p>What should I write about?/What exactly are they asking for?
Should I be creative and or just answer the question?</p>

<p>Also, I have thise one pretty good essay that wrote that works for almost any of these types of topics. But if I use that essay, and I later apply to this college and use that same essay (not exactly the same offcourse) do you think they will notice I used it twice?</p>

<p>pretty sure that the adcoms for the actual university are different people than for the summer program</p>

<p>IF your essay is able to apply to virtually any prompt you might have a problem, Adcoms are looking for something concise that answers the given question and if it doesn't specifically answer the question that may be a problem.</p>
