Wonderful, Passionate Essay: Now, How to Include It?

<p>So, I am in a bit of a predicament. I have written an essay that I truly love, about my experience visiting a concentration camp in Poland. I am applying EA to Georgetown, and really want to include it in my application.</p>

<p>Problem is, I’m not sure if it fits into Georgetown’s prompts. The short answer is “Tell us about your most significant school or extra-curricular activity”, another essay is “Tell us about yourself”, and the third essay is about current events and my essay would by no means apply.</p>

<p>Would I be able to use that essay about a significant experience for the “tell us about yourself” essay if it gives a good insight into my personality?</p>

<p>If not, would it be unwise to use it as my essay short answer if it only talks about a small aspect of my EC? (It was during my semester abroad I spent in Israel).</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>I think it would work for the “Tell us about yourself”, if you include a lot about who you are in that essay. If the essay only shows one aspect of yourself, and isn’t what you want thought of as your most significant activity, then maybe you just shouldn’t use it for this application. Or you can include a paragraph about it in the “tell us about yourself” essay.</p>
