<p>Ok so for the short (100 word) question it says "We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do for the pleasure of it. "</p>
<p>should I write about playing piano or sewing?</p>
<p>I only ask because I only included piano in my activities not sewing</p>
<p>Whichever one you feel more strongly about, although it might be cool to include sewing since you haven't said anything about it yet.</p>
<p>alright thanks that's what I thought too! oh yeah I forgot to mention that I am sending in piano arts supplement so I guess this choice is clear haha</p>
<p>Do you guys think it's overdoing it to talk about the same thing more than once in the application? Even 2-3 times: in what I do for fun, in activities, and in the extra part (all in different concentrations/ different lights highlighting different aspects of the activity)?</p>
<p>In other words, is it better to convey extreme passion towards one thing or more scattered interests?</p>
<p>yeah idk i feel like stuff they look for contradicts other things they want...but I think MIT is fun and their applicaiton is meant to be fun so that's why I'm putting sewing on mine...plus it highlights characteristics that I have: variety, flexibility... just have fun with it</p>
<p>yes I agree, the MIT app is actually really fun...</p>
<p>gets you to think about things in different ways. and there's lots of space to show who you are.</p>
