Major dilemma! Which essay should i use for my app? Advice plz

Applying to College

<p>Here's my situation, I'm applying to some schools via the Common App. My main essay is pertains to track and field. However I wrote two short EC essays. Which one should I choose? (description below of each)</p>

<p>1) Literacy Tutoring <a href="4th%20on%20my%20order%20of%20important%20list%20of%20EC's">11, 12 2.5 hrs/wk 40 wks/yr</a>
This essay is less well-written than the other one. However, it is academic. Sort of boring and some reader comments have been "take out of a brochure" and "anyone could write this"</p>

<p>2) Recreational B-ball (I don't play for any teams, just at parks, my house, around town, etc.) <a href="3rd%20of%20my%20order%20of%20important%20list%20of%20EC's">9, 10, 11, 12 7 hrs/wk 40 wks/yr</a>
This essay is much more personal and lively. It is also better written than the other one. A expert essay reader on CC (an0maly) said this response was much better and "solid". However, it is about sports and i don't even play on a basketball team and i already have a sports essay that is about track and field. </p>

<p>Which essay should i use? I'm on the brink at schools like notre dame and virginia. So, these essays could potentially be crucial. If you want to read the EC essays, PM me.</p>

<p>I think you should use the better essay, even if the subject may be a little repetitive. They already know your ECs; you list them on the app. So they realize you have different interests. In the essays they want to know more about you and how well you can express yourself. Choose the best essay.</p>
