[quote=Anonymous]View "don't write your essay about something that is elsewhere in your application" as a suggestion not to squander the opportunity to highlight other facets of your life. The essay is an opportunity to convey non-quantifiable information about who you are (qualities, motivations, etc) or who you want to become. But the subject doesn't matter. If your DD thinks her athletics is foundational or important to who explaining who she is or she can convey important information not provided elsewhere, she can and probably should write about it. My DS wrote about athletics and was happy with the reaction from schools (though to be honest who knows whether that was because of or in spite of his essay(s)). (He was not a recruited athlete)[/quote]
