Topic A ApplyTexas Answered
Hello guys, I am currently writing my essay, but I have questions about the prompt. The prompt says throughout my high school career so do I talk about school? I have heard talking about academics is bad for essays so I’m not sure what to write about.
Tell us your story. What unique opportunities or challenges have you experienced throughout your high school career that have shaped who you are today?

Personally, I think you could talk about academics as long as you discuss why it matters to you, but I think they are going for more of difficulties/opportunities outside of school. For example, if you had a really cool volunteer experience or a health condition that made normal activities hard, those are some things you could write about. I think mostly college admission people just want to see you be able to talk about how your experiences affect you and your viewpoint on life.
Good luck!!!
I also wrote an essay of mine 3 years ago, I also mentioned a bit about high school and that made my essay longer and of course no problem. slope game
