I’ve been planning out my college essay topics and writing out a few of them this summer, and I need help narrowing down which questions to choose. I’ve listed out my topic for each potential question below. Any help is appreciated!
PIQ 1 (leadership): Leadership in Boy Scouts as SPL and a unique experience having to put the troop’s interests above my own. I’ve written a rough draft for this already.
PIQ 2 (creativity): My initiative with a friend to starting the Web Design club after taking APCSA together to gather a group of students to redesign the school website, which had a bad layout, loaded very slowly, and was extremely glitchy at the time.
PIQ 3 (Greatest talent or skill): My love for music in my free time, as I learned to play by ear, made covers for popular songs, and performed them at my school’s talent show each year (such as Despacito). As you might imagine, this essay’s going to be a bit quirky.
PIQ 6 (Academic Subject Inspiration): My passion for math as shown through my years competing in math competitions and math research (I’ve finished this essay and am 100% satisfied with it. My GC loved it).
PIQ 7 (Contribution to Community): My role in the family helping my mom with chores (usually 2 hours a day on weekdays and 3 hours a day on weekends). We’re not poor, but my mom’s just been having trouble keeping up with chores because of old age, so I’ve been having to help out.
