<p>I have two major “activities” that are very important to me and quite essay worthy- namely, theatre performance and science research. These two activities are what I spend the majority of my time doing, pursuing, etc… and I want to make sure the passion/time investment of these activities is understood by admissions officers, and not just in the sense of glancing over a resume…</p>

<p>That being said, I feel like it may be overkill to do a personal statement on one of the activities, the yale sup essay on the other activity and THEN have 150 word answer to a “meaningful activity” as well as a resume. I’m conflicted because I want the extensiveness and meaningfulness of my involvement in these two areas to be known, but not at the cost of sounding like a machine programmed to recite the importance of my resume at the push of a button… Do you have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Danielle</p>

<p>I wrote my Yale supp. on speech and debate; my “meaningful activity” response was a very shortened version of the former, though i tried to some extent to use different examples, etc to convey as much info as possible.</p>

<p>Don’t write the personal statement on one of the same topics.</p>
