How to approach UC application prompt number 6?
Answered

So this is an essay type question but the topic is:

6. Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.

My question is whether should I choose a broad subject like physics, or if I could choose a specific concept that I really enjoyed and furthered my interest in (electricity).
