With a 175 word limit you won’t have the space you did with your main CA essay to warm up to the topic. You’ll have to jump more directly into the subject matter. That said, you’ll still want to craft a good piece of writing.

How direct you’ll need to be will depend largely on what you’re writing about. I’ve now had two kids apply to Bates. The first wrote about his love of the instrument he plays. Since everyone understands what the instrument is and his EC section had already listed his accomplishments, he had more room for creativity in his essay. The second wrote about involvement in a community service organization. She needed to spend more of her essay explaining what the organization is and her part in it, so she really didn’t have room to give more than a straightforward answer to the question.
