<p>In my opinion, you should also focus on conveying your personality and voice. The reasoning is as follows:</p>
<p>“Sweeter” is a comparison. In order to show this, you would have to define some sort of pseudo-quantifiable scale of sweetness that you all fit into. Besides being unfair to other students, it would require assumptions and generalizations that you probably couldn’t make. Additionally there’s the issue of whether the admissions officer adheres to the same value scale or whether contest measurement is even found to be a relevant interest in the first place.</p>
<p>I think the better choice is to show them your personality and allow yourself to be judged. Are you personable, funny, or analytical? These traits can be shown through your tone, pacing, and commentary; perhaps uniqueness can be gained through specificity. This leaves you to talk about the actual impacts of any life-changing experience in a more explicit forefront.</p>
