Hi guys :)

Well, I’m pretty sure this topic has been asked too many times but I was wondering for the Common App short answer…

What exactly does it show the adcoms that is different from the personal essay?

What approach do you take on the short answer? Do you simply describe the activity and how it has impacted you OR do you make it poetic/metaphorical?

Lastly, how important is this in the admissions decision?

Thanks again guys! I really appreciate it!
