[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the common app I’d be careful it doesn’t read like a regurgitation of his resume or activity list. Mine wrote about an activity he is in that is his career goal, but it was really just the backdrop for him to “show” not tell his personal qualities and worldview. Then, it was also a topic in some why us essays that called for what you wanted to study and such.

Hope that helps and made sense.[/quote]

It doesn’t answer the question of whether it’s safe to assume that the person reading the “Why X?” Essay is also reading the Common App.[/quote]

Yes. The same reader will read all parts, each will have their own preferred order. Many start with transcript and getting a feel for school/area kid is in and then proceed to common app with essays. [/quote]

Should have added that to my earlier post on content. And then I should have added to my next answer that this is for holistic view schools. Other larger schools that are stats driven may have a different workflow.[/quote]
