I don’t understand what should I write. Should I write about something I am very interested in learning, yet have no idea about? Or should I write about something that is unconventional?
Let me rephrase the question: “What do you LOVE so much, and are so KNOWLEDGEABLE about that you could teach a course in that subject at Yale?” It’s a very straight forward question, and you should answer it as honestly as you can. Keep in mind the course doesn’t have to be about anything academic, it could be about snowboarding, windsurfing, rug weaving, volleyball, baseball, anything music related, anything arts related, horseback riding, dog training etc. What outside activity do you excel in? Yale is looking to see how enthusiastic you feel about the things you do in your life!
Aha…got your point.
Thanks!
