alrightythen Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 For example using the same activity for Exposure to Diversity and Social Accountability, but discussing different aspects of the activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartfoodLover Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Yeah, I used the same activity three times actually, but spoke of different aspects of the same activity. Also I’m not sure if this is true, but I heard that they split up your ABS and have separate people read each section, so it doesn’t matter if you repeat activities.

I'll have to email about that. If they do have different people reading each section that would be take such a load off my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard through the rumour mill that multiple people grade the whole thing and they average their scores. I dont think anyone outside of the adcom knows honestly personally I wouldnt repeat the same activity unless the only other option was leaving it blank. Youre dealing with graders that are, despite all efforts subjective in their evaluations. You never know what someone may think if they see you use the same activity twice. last year the abs said its fine to repeat activities, and as you can see people have gotten in doing it. Im just very risk aversive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakoon Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm sure people have, but I wouldn't risk doing it unless it's an activity so great could put it under multiple entries and still impress, or you would leave that section blank otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takasugi Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 If the the option is using a shitty activity vs a good one twice, I would just repeat honestly. As long as your not repeating multiple activities I think it should be fine. Like the poster above that used 6 activities for 8 essays, that seems very reasonable.
