<p>I'm applying to SUNY Stony Brook's Honors College as a safety, and their application tells me to describe an intellectual experience. Does anyone have any idea what an intellectual experience would be (what qualifies as an intellectual experience).</p>
<p>i did mine on my experience with tennis and how it caused me to study etc etc</p>
<p>I just wrote about an experience that I learned something from. My teacher said it was alright, so yeah.</p>
<p>When I was narrowing my topics down, I was left with travel experiences and an extracurricular, so maybe you could write about one of those. I eventually, wrote about my participation in a city government internship. Even if you write a halfway decent essay, you'll get into honors with your top-notch stats. You could even write about something not usually considered "intellectual" and show them how it was indeed "intellectual" for you. This could make you stand out.</p>
