<p>What is typically the norm for a EC short answer topic? The EC I have devoted the most time to is XC/track. I participated in both for 4 years, and have harbored several major awards, honors, and captaincies. But I was also thinking about writing about individually training for triathlons during the summer, but I have only done that for 2 years. Is the latter acceptable? Would I have any advantage choosing one or the other? I feel the triathlon training topic would be more unique, but I haven't spent as much time pursuing it.</p>
<p>Choose whatever activity will best allow you to write a unique, passionate, and revealing essay about yourself. Show yourself through the activity - don’t just list everything that you’ve done (“several major awards, honors, and captaincies”)</p>
<p>Do you have XC/track in the triathlons? If yes it seems acceptable to write about it.</p>
