Need Essay/Short Answer Advice!!

College Essays

<p>So I sat down a couple weeks ago and wrote out my application essay. Then I realized that I also have to write a short answer about one of my extracurricular activities. The problem is that I wrote my ESSAY about swimming-- the only extracurricular I care about. So I was wondering...</p>

<p>Should I write another essay and then make my short answer about swimming?</p>

<p>Or should I keep the swimming essay and write about something else for my short answer? (possible short answer topics: work, internship at RU, national art honor society)</p>

<p>Any advice is appreciated...</p>

<p>And to anyone who has time...I would love it if you could read my essay and give me feedback about it</p>

<p>thaaanks! :)

<p>Tracy - I would say that you would need to do your short answer on something other than swimming, even if it just keeps the person who is looking through your application a little bit entertained - try and go for something that makes you stand out.</p>

<p>PM your essay across and I'll take a quick look.</p>

<p>I would say writing your short answer on the internship you took; it will make you look more well-rounded for the adcom. :)</p>

<p>You could PM me with your essay if you'd like.</p>

<p>Feel free to PM it.</p>

<p>You can do that. Just make sure it differs in subject for the most part from the other essay. Cover another aspect...or do another topic.</p>
