<p>I am wondering which essay to write.
My common app is about hardship so maybe adaptability could show the lighter side of me.
Then the charitable one shows my deep thinking and my passion.
So…
Which should I go for?</p>
<p>if your common app one is already super serious, go for a more lighter-toned one in the supplement- adaptability, from what it sounds like in your post</p>
<p>Whichever better answers this question: what positive things can you bring to Harvard? If you think about this question in regard to your two choices, you won’t go wrong.</p>
