<p>Tell us about one interest or experience of yours that allows us to get to know you better as an individual. Please limit your response to approximately 300 words.</p>

<p>Is it okay if I write about my experience when I switched school and later overcoming the challenges to receive the best student award? Please reply! Deadline is in a few days.</p>

<p>Yep. that topic is totally fine. Just manage to get all that within 300 words and you are good to go.</p>

<p>Yes, that would be okay. Change of environment, leaving your comfort zone, finding your bearings in a new setting, challenging yourself through hard work and determination and coming out a winner…is really a great topic to talk about.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
