<p>For this essay, can we talk about an experience that helped us create an outside organization? Or does this have to be about something academically related?</p>
<p>I don’t think intellectual vitality has to be academic, necessarily. Curiosity and intellectual passion can be derived from a wide variety of experiences outside of the classroom. If you helped create an organization, and in doing so, grew intellectually as an individual, I don’t see why this would be inappropriate. </p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>No problem.</p>
