<p>I'm having trouble understanding exacatly what they are asking when an essay mentions intellectual interest. Would writing or film be considered intellectual interest?</p>
<p>I think of it as an academic interest. If you want to study writing or film in college, then for you the answer would be yes.</p>
<p>i went to the cornell info sesh and the guy said to write abt something other than what you plan on majoring in.</p>
