[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the supplementals are more fun (e.g., those with a bunch of cute little open-ended questions, those with videos). A couple of colleges have pretty boring supplementals and we regret applying to those in retrospect.[/quote]

Videos were hugely stressful and those cute non serious supplementals were an annoying time suck. I’m looking at you Elon asking kids for their playlist.[/quote]
I like those because you can showcase your creativity and personality.

I don’t like the schools that ask why you choose your second major after asking why first major already (unless your two choices are very different).[/quote]

I also like Georgetown’s first supplemental essay that asks you to elaborate on any special talents or skills you would like to highlight. We all have intangible talents/skills that are not listed formally on the resume, and those may be much more important in your life. Georgetown asks applicants to upload files for the other essays, but provides space to for them write this supplemental essay![/quote]
