The idea of the activity essay

<p>What exactly do the colleges want to know? I don't get the point of the whole thing ..</p>

<p>I had two versions of my Common App account:
for one, I wrote about a service club I was a part of
for the other, I wrote about my volleyball experiences</p>

<p>Just write about an activity you were passionate about over the past three years. Since the "essay" is only 150 words, it probably isn't that important anyway.</p>
