<p>I'm working on my Emory scholars essay and I was wondering if this would be considered an intellectual interest. I write for my school newspaper and enjoy doing a lot of research for articles that help students understand sometimes complex topics. For example, I've learned all about the teenage brain or the political situations in the Middle East. Could I use what I do as my intellectual interest?</p>
<p>I would use a specific. like why politics in the middle east or why the teenage brain is fascinating</p>
<p>alright, thank you!</p>
