<p>For the question,
"3. Many people form a list of once-in-a-lifetime activities to accomplish. For example, individuals on the admissions staff hope to visit all the national parks, publish a fiction novel or waddle with penguins in Antarctica. What are a few of the items on your list?"</p>

<p>Am I supposed to just make a list of a couple of the items as brief as they listed theirs or am I supposed to choose one of two and go into some detail on them? Because they ask "what are a few" and it seems awkward to just list a 3 or 4 and doing so models their examples (and they don't say explain) but at the same time with a whole slew of characters from the 2000 limit left I feel like I ought to explain.</p>

<p>So help please? Much appreciated! (I so should have asked this more than 2 days before the EA deadline.)</p>

<p>How you answer the question (why you chose the item) is as important as the answer itself (vague, huh?) I didn’t have to answer this one, but if I was applying this year, I would list 3-4 things and briefly explain their significance to me. This will give the adm staff insight into who you are. For example, I would like to visit Antarctica and see the penguins because “Happy Feet” is one of my favorite movies. I liked the movie because it showed that you should find your own talent and not let others define you. Or hike the entire Appalachian Trail alone to see how self-sufficient you can be. The reasons for your choices matter as much as the choices. Good luck.</p>
