No, it’s not redundant. Read the thread. Plenty of explanations.

Do you have an example of a personal experience that is not a lived experience?

Lived experience refers to experiencing something yourself rather than obtaining knowledge about something passively, ie through media or secondhand.

Writing about a non-lived experience in a college essay would be ridiculous. Agree with the person above who said the word "lived" is redundant.

An "experience" is going on a mission trip to "help" people in poorer countries. Lived experience is actually growing up in those conditions. You're welcome.

The meaning is exactly the same if you take out the word lived. It’s unnecessary to make the point.

The meaning of "exactly the same" is the same if you take out the word "exactly" . It's unnecessary to make the point. Look who's the snowflake lib now!

lol!

Snowflake and lib are redundant. Keep trying.

The rest of the furor is people hating others who experience doesn't match what the hater wants to be true.

My lived experience is that lived experience is real and distinct from more general experience, and that a question about lived experience opens the door to self-reflection across a wide variety of topics. I recognize that many posters find the very concept of lived experience, as well as the value of a question about it, to be inconsistent with their knowledge and worldview. (These posters' views are informed by their lived experiences, whether they know it or not.)

You really underestimate people's ability to read and comprehend. They will be able to figure out that something happened to you pretty easily without the intensified expression. My arm got blown off in a war torn area means something entirely different than reading about an arm being blown off in a book. How stupid do you think these people are?

Your arm wasn't blown off.
It was damaged by a mortar explosion and had to be amputated to stop bleeding and infection.
How stupid to you think these people are?

Nothing left of your argument. Nothing left but word games.

But you like word games. Which is why some of you are so desperately trying to split hairs here. If you actually had an interesting story to tell you wouldn't need to call it a lived experience. The experience would speak for itself.

For example, if you’re a white, straight, middle class male, your “lived experience” is likely one where you’ve enjoyed a multitude of privileges and very few road blocks such as discrimination. You’ve likely never been profiled in a store or stopped by the police simply because you’re walking down the street. The images and role models of success that have been in the media since you were born have mostly looked like you.

An “experience” is just that. It’s a one-time event. An example might be that you were mugged on the way home and it caused you to think differently about your life in a profound way. Or maybe you had the “experience” of volunteering in a homeless shelter and learned things about yourself.

No one is trying to “get around” the SCOTUS decision. If you’ve read it, you’d know that Roberts laid the groundwork for this approach. Colleges want a student body filled with diverse experiences, and there’s nothing illegal about soliciting information about its applicants as they build their next incoming class.

So, what if you were white and had a pretty crummy life and not one of privilege?

Write about it. How did you overcome your challenges?

Not everyone can. That's the point. Not everyone takes vacations, has privileged internships, jobs, etc. Ironically everything you list is those of privilege. If someone mugged me they'd be pissed at what they got.

No one wants to hear about your vacations or internships. That has nothing to do with overcoming challenges or lived experience.

The problem with that is some things are private

That's true, and the prompter wants you to open up and be vulnerable. Maybe it's out of line to ask, or maybe it's an important skill to convert your life experience to something of unique value for the world, or an important skill for a future CEO to invent a fake contextually relevant background story to sell a pitch to investors and customers, and accumulate a billion dollars and donate $50M to the school.
Maybe it's not strictly necessary, but it's part of an overall package to show your potential if you don't have more obvious markers of achievement.

Asians go through all sorts of discriminations and then more discrimination by the colleges.

Colleges want future Presidents, not honest people.

Your argument is actually with Edmund Husserl, who coined the term to articulate a specific phenomenological idea, the very one about which AOs are asking.

Unfortunately Husserl died in 1938. Maybe that's why you're arguing with strangers online.

I'm a DP from above, and I'm pointing out that the term has been around for 100 years, a fact that seems to keep getting lost. Call it arguing if you want, that's fine. I won't argue.

Being normal and middle class feels pretty great to me. If you feel like you are being penalized then maybe strike the "normal" from your statement? You have an abnormal belief that your good life is also a punishment
