<p>OK my long essay is ready for the common app, reviewed by my college counselor, and I went to get them sent out no later than tomorrow. The short essay is giving me more trouble. The first one I wrote was about a week-long trip volunteering with Habitat to help build a house in West VA. I think it's good but a bit cliched. Then I wrote one about the time management skills I learned playing 3 varsity sports year-round which take up over 20 hours a week. But it's not really about 1 EC and might also be cliched. Opinions please? Both are well-written...just looking for better topic to comply with what they want.</p>
<p>Stop speculating about what topic they may want and use the one that is most personal, detailed, honest and revealing about you. Truly, that is what they want.</p>
<p>send it i wil read them</p>
