Im about to start the UF Essay and have a quick question. Im not really that exciting of a person and have not really done anything particularly exciting. Im stuck between the first prompt(Tell a story from your life, describing an experience that either demonstrates your character or helped to shape it) and the fourth prompt(What is the hardest part of being a teenager now? What’s the best part? What advice would you give a younger sibling or friend (assuming they would listen to you)). How did you choose what to write about? Also, I have heard that they really like it if you make your own essay. Is this true? If so, would it be sleezy to use the common app essay for the UF essay? Thanks
How did you see the questions?
Look up uf app essay @tschul13
The FSU essay and the UF essay last year were sort of similar, so I submitted the essay I wrote for FSU to UF… if you want to talk about sleezy…
But I was accepted and it probably helped that my essay was on topic but still probably quite different than others’ work. I used the topic similar to your first option, I wrote about a sport that I do and what it taught me in and out of the classroom and how it shaped me as a person.
@rowwor thank you. I already started my essay. Which school do you go to?
I am an incoming freshman at UF.
Submit your housing app ASAP!!! Even if you aren’t sure which school you going to attend yet, it’s only $25 and it will save you so much hassle later on if you decide to go to UF. I waited until March to submit mine, and now I am in an economy triple… 
@rowwor yeah trust me I’m submitting my app asap
