"Hey, what are you guys writing down as your weakest subject?"

For this question you don't have to write about an academic subject, but it can be anything you have a problem or have struggled with. I wrote about how my piano skill...well...sucks.

"Also, what would they considered a "short term" goal. Like getting accepted to college or getting st8 A's?"

I can guarantee you that 90 out of a hundred applicants will put getting into college. I was a bit more creative, or so I like to think, and wrote about the history paper I was writing during the time and how I was using historical method to analyze the materials and judging who is credible and who is not. It was actually quite fun. So my advice is to try and break the mold and not be the with crowd. No matter how magnificent "I want to get into college because..." GMS would be tired of reading it after it has read thousands like it before (the exception being you're homeless or a migrant worker who travels with the season).

P.S.
I won the Gates scholarship three years ago is working to recruit students to apply to the scholarship. If you read the thread from last year and the year before that, you would see I have posted a lot so feel to ask questions and I'll try to answer them the best I can.
