<p>would writing about going to west point's summer leaders program constitute for a good uc essay (the one about how i took advantage of advancing my education)?</p>
<p>go for it, if you've got something good to say... i wish i got into mil acad summer programs :)</p>
<h1>1 gives you a chance to describe your academic achievements which go beyond attending classes and doing well.</h1>
<h1>3 gives you a chance to account for any holes in your record; e.g., a bad semester due to illness or changing schools.</h1>
<h1>2 is a really important question. You should focus on something specific about you; not necessarily on how you will impact the school. Describe something which indicates a real passion, an unusual success, personal growth or maturity.</h1>
<p>for the first essay, could i focus on my love for newspaper class? or is that too narrow and not academic enough?</p>
