<p>I'm not sure what admission officers are looking for in the 150 word essay. I know the personal essay is meant to show who you are and your writing skill. Is the activity essay meant to show that also, or is it just meant to show your character, work ethic, dedication, etc. based on your involvement in an extracurricular? Basically, should it be mostly be factual, or should it be expressive and personal? Or both?</p>
