| Agreed. I suppose that the adcoms sort of saw through my app that I didn't really care too much about this EC that I wrote about- thought it'd be more impressive than my true love (riding horses). Was denied from a lot of places...
However, definitely learned my lesson and wrote about riding in my transfer essay-it worked!!! What can I say? Just give it a shot, even if it might be lame at times.
The main reason why I didn't write about riding horses the first time around was because I love it so much that i wasn't sure how to convey it and make the essay coherent about my feelings regarding dealing with horses. But after a year and of better understanding of why I was still riding in college, I was able to convey myself better. As for HS students, if you've been doing this EC before high school, why are you still with it despite tight schedules? I think that's the idea. |
