Very good point re: understanding each AO individually. The Pomona session actually said to consider it in a very creative way i.e., what did you learn? That is what set me down this path of thinking of it as another opportunity to get to know the student. But I get it, if that’s not what the school is after, then it’s a bad idea.
Can you decide on the common app which schools receive the essay?
