<p>hey everyone! i just had some questions about the essays…any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>for the who interested you question…i just put one sentence like an alumna, an undergrad…etc etc…is that what they want or do they want like a whole list of reasons besides people ie: “i love the campus & the curriculum etc”?</p>
<p>okay question two!</p>
<p>for the activities essay…i have about 6 things i would like to talk about…too much? i was also thinking about limiting it to just my sports…but im not sure what they want…do they want a list? an essay? should i just discuss the 6 things in detail? idk help please?!</p>
<p>FOr the who interested you question I mentioned my visit to Brown and how the students who spoke for the info sessions and tours got me interested. I know that doesn't answer your question...but the app offers space for about a paragraph so maybe they expect you to expand on your reason whatever it may be</p>
<p>and for the activities essay, I was just doing an activities sheet like for common app. I want to talk about a few activites...and seeing those people with 500 activites makes me think that I don't have enough. I think six is good..but i can't really say...im in the same boat
:)</p>
<p>For the "who interested you" essay: I've seen a simple phrase like "my guidance counselor suggested it" to a lengthy paragraph. Be honest but if you can write something that personalizes your application, do it.</p>
<p>For the activities essay: Too many activities suggests that you spread yourself too thin and aren't devoted to anything. I think six is fine, although I would stress two or three. Applicants have different approaches to this. Some, like my daughter, wrote a paragraph for each activity; she stressed not only what she did, but why she enjoyed doing it. Others do an annotated resume.</p>
