Hi guys, starting to prewrite and would love some advice. I am a rising senior in college.
For the more general challenge question (GW, CW, Pitt, Cornell, and UVA):
1. I moved to a new, very small, private high school in Gr10, where I was one of four accepted students and the only girl entering into a class of ~100 students that had been together since Gr7.
2. I'm a varsity sports supervisor at my college; was thinking of the first time I had to announce one of our hockey games because our announcer flaked and my boss wasn't around and so the next person in chain of command was me (despite me having 0 announcing experience or practice)
3. This summer I had to choose between living at home with my parents, where I would have been supported with meals and not having to pay for gas or bills vs staying in my college town to continue in-person clinical research and clinical volunteering but I live alone and have to support myself
4. Maybe too extreme but first week of college, the guy I lived next to in our dorm was killed in an unprovoked attack on campus, first time I had ever experienced a personal loss and kinda killed the exciting buzz about starting a new chapter, people didn't want to hang out, events were canceled etc.
And then more specifically, Geisel and Saint Louis ask about times "where I was the other":
5. My job employs many international students, I've had to run hockey games where everyone was from India/Pakistan/Turkey and they have never experienced the sport/don't know the rules or set up involved
6. Worked on a semester research project where I identified myself as a group leader and then was paired with two students who were in 4th and 5th years of undergrad, so had to delegate tasks and take charge despite being younger and having less research experience
I could also use #1 here since no school asks about both of these prompts.
Thank you!!!
