<p>what do you think...specifically with regard to the common application</p>
<p>recommended/not recommended and why?</p>
<p>bump.....should the main essay and the supplemental essay be focused on the same activity?? Especially u wrote about ur most meaningful activity in the main essay and in the supplemental they ask u for the most meaningful activity????....</p>
<p>bump....please</p>
<p>is this for yale? if they ask supplemetal for mos meaningful why do you still want to write in the main essay?</p>
<p>no...generic common app...</p>
<p>ok if in themain essay if sort of only give it a cursory mention, but in the short essay you expand on it, then that's fine, otherwise, do one or the other</p>
<p>Yea, I agree with Jay. If you have something to expand on, go for it if you feel it’s worthwhile!</p>
<p>rocking my Es. You’ve replied to posters who asked for help in 2004 and 2005. It’s likely that these people have graduated college already. </p>
<p>please note when the original thread was started and when the last reply/activity on the thread took place.</p>
<p>In general, no. The two should not be on the same topic.</p>
<p>I don’t think the short essay’s enough room to write about a particular activity, but it’s certainly the most important to me, so would it be weird if I wrote my main essay about this and then the short essay about something else?</p>
<p>If you really want to do this, maybe you could write about a specific experience related to the EC in one essay, and a more global, general “what it means to me/how it made me who I am, yada yada” in the other?</p>
<p>hahahahah 2005 good call T26</p>
