I am filling out the Common App, and plan to apply to NCSU EA. Under the Questions tab, there is a section labelled “More About You”. There are three (I think) 250 word short essay prompts. Only the first one has a red asterisk (reqd). Should I do all of them to demonstrate interest? Or is it not worth it? Any insight appreciated, thanks.
Definitely do it. If you have only mediocre test scores, it could be the difference between accepted and denied.
i only did the one about my major and the one about a difficulty i have experienced. The other one was about diversity and i didnt have much to say about it.
I skipped the third prompt as I didn’t really have anything to say. But I got accepted to the Engineering College for fall 2017. But if you have anything to say, do write. It’s always a plus.
