<p>Describe a setback that you have faced. How did you resolve it? How did the outcome affect you? If something similar happened in the future, how would you react?</p>
<p>I wrote about failing an audition and how I made the band the year after. Does that count as a setback?</p>
<p>since I’ve been in that kind of position, it could be more of a setback if you described maybe how you didn’t make that band, and what led you to improve whatever condition that acted as a roadblock. be specific!</p>
<p>Hmmm, is 615 words way over the “approximately 500 words” suggestion?</p>
<p>hm…I got in, and I can tell you my essays were 375 words, 300 words, and 650 words each, for the 250, 250, and 500 essays, respectively. I guess it’s not <em>impossible</em> if you’re a little bit over. I would keep it that long and make sure the essay is clear and complete before chopping pieces off to make it fit the word limit.</p>
<p>Congratulations!
For the family info section, is native language, veteran info, and the paragraph about your contributions to your family required?
I left those blank and the application inspector did not list them as missing</p>
<p>I know the veteran info and contribution to family is not required, but I put a native language because…well, I have a native language 
The veteran info is just a yes no question right?</p>
