What to write for the supplements regarding personal challenges.

My S26’s common app PS is about challenge → growth → leadership trajectory.

But some colleges have supplemental regarding personal challenges again.

In this situation, what should he do? To condense the PS, or write a new obstacle?

Thanks for the help.

Don’t repeat the common app essay unless the school shows they don’t use it.

You’ve encountered more than one obstacle in life.

Good or bad - mine wrote about anti semitism in school and a boss in the club she worked that wouldn’t enforce covid population limitations.

The current personal statement can be used as the essay regarding personal challenges (most likely condensed) and a new topic can be pursued for the PS. OR keep the current personal statement and as suggested above, write about something else in the “challenge” essay. Believe me this is a common problem!

ps there is free essay help here on CC….go to the essay section…if helpful
