Essay
I recently toured a college where they prefaced that they don't take into account that I've visited the campus during the admissions process. One of my essay ideas for this school though was using my tour experience as kind of a starting point in the essay; is it still ok to be using that experience in my essay even though they say that they don't care about whether or not you've visited?
Good question...would you please share more specific details? Like what about the tour? Something you encounter or learned or liked? Also, what is the prompt?
Sorry for peppering you with questions :) Just trying to give the best help I can.
No problem! The required essay prompt: Tell a story from your life, describing an experience that either demonstrates your character or helped to shape it. The required short essay prompt: Describe the world you come from and how you, as a product of it, might add to the diversity.
Ok, and now could you please explain why were you going to mention the visit? What about the visit answers this prompt? Because at first glance, it doesn't seem to fit the prompt. Then again, it could be a creative approach but I need a little more info about why you would mention the visit to understand that.
