<p>So, you don’t suppose these are too focused in one area or are leaving out something important, do you?</p>
<p>Common App Essay: Jump Rope coach and her impact</p>
<p>Roommate Essay: Being OCD but messy at the same time</p>
<p>Intellectual Vitality Essay: Linguistics and my discovery of it</p>
<p>What Matters to you: Not being normal, specifically choosing the path of jump rope as well as creating new tricks within jump rope</p>
<p>Extracurricular Essay: Cultural Club and how I love discussing the differences between cultures. Hopefully somewhat quirky and funny</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>Essentially, the other things I could talk about would be piano, teaching jump rope to elementary kids (although I think jump rope might be worn out by this point), or something about me being very forgetful (I quite literally lose my wallet, once a week! haha)</p>
<p>Bumpity bump bump?</p>
<p>sorry i cant help you but where did you find the prompts???</p>
<p>They are on the common application. Under Stanford Supplements</p>
<p>I used to do competitive jump rope too! I would say jump rope is a really good, quirky topic but it might be too esoteric unless you’ve done something amazing with it. For example, I know someone who wrote his essay for Stanford about starting a ping-pong tournament at school. He had amazing grades but got rejected. It’s fun, but it doesn’t exactly show too much initiative or personal interest. Basically, don’t be quirky for the sake of being quirky. That being said, whatever you do, do NOT default to the standard community service/leadership essay. As long as you can feel the essay explains why it matters personally to you and communicates interesting traits you can contribute to the school, I’d say go for it.</p>
<p>Hope this helped!</p>
