[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD's first choice college specifically says "don't write your essay about something that is elsewhere in your application." Let's say for example she has a Varsity sport or another activity listed in her activities. if her college essay is 650 words about a time she faced an obstacle related to one of these activities, do you think she is going against the college's specific instructions? [/quote] Yes. They're asking her to think outside the box, quite literally. I agree that she could take an activity out of the activity section. For example, if she volunteered as a tutor at a community center, and has a really compelling story, she could write about it, but would take it out of the activity section. [/quote]
