Hello,

I just wanted to know if you could give me guidelines for what i need to include in the "please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer)" short answer that is part of the writing section on the common app?

Should it be merely descriptive? I would appreciate a guideline for what i need to include, and what kind of activity should i elaborate on - volunteer or an activity that demonstrates my entrepreneurship?

Thank you

Naj Erfan

Good afternoon.

The content of pieces like these are pretty much up to you. Choose something that will showcase a particular ability of yours. Use enough description to get your point across, but not too much so that your point gets lost. The board is going to use this as a sort of "first impression" so don't overload them, but don't leave them in the dark either.

Regards,
Gloria
