Earlier this summer one of my personal essays was published by a major website (on par with, say, the Huffington Post). I’d like to include this on my common app since it’s a big accomplishment, but I’m not sure where to put it exactly. It’s not really an “award” or “honor,” but it’s also not something that I can put as a recurring weekly “activity” in the activities section. If I put it in the Additional Information section, will adcoms even see it? And how should I word it?
Do write as a hobby? Put writing as your activity, then when it asks you to list position/honors won underneath, mention that it was published.
