Dasypus Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm working on the personal mini-essays, and two of the questions (about making a difference and overcoming a difficulty) I think I can best answer by referring to the same activity: I think I really made a difference with the hospital volunteering I've been doing, but it took overcoming a pretty serious problem at the start to make it work. Is this overlap a problem, do you think? It is one of the more important things in my life right now, so maybe that's why it seems so salient; but I don't want it to come across as the only thing in my life.

Anyways, To answer the OP's question directly: I would advise you to use a variety of different activities when answering the brief personal essays because there's a good chance that the same person(s) will mark all of your personal mini-essays (not to be confused with the three brief statements which are evaluated along with the autobio sketch independently of the 4 brief personal essays). P.S. You want to sound like you have the breadth/depth of experiences the AdCom is looking for. Make sure you answer all aspects of the essay questions asked, and seek input from others (someone you know and trust who has good English skills) before submitting! And realize that each brief personal essay is related to one of the Faculty's Mission and Values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonGardner Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 A personal essay is a piece of writing that addresses a given topic from the writer's own perspective, usually including some examples from the person’s life to support the main ideas. It allows readers to get a sense of someone’s abilities and personality, so some people see it as a type of interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
