Alright. Question. I’m on the first prompt. For reference:
“What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had in the field — such as volunteer work, internships and employment, participation in student organizations and activities — and what you have gained from your involvement.”
Should we be as straightforward with it as possible? I can’t figure out any real way to answer it directly without being at least slightly convoluted.
“I intend to major in Philosophy. My interest in the subject began in…” etc. sounds somewhat dry, whereas…
“My interest for philosophy sparked after…” is a little more dynamic, it allows some room to play with it. I can talk about it chronologically sort of, explaining when my decision was solidified. Or is that irrelevant? Should I focus primarily on experience in the field (provided I have a good amount of it that I want to emphasize).
