College essay question?

[bryanw]

Pretty much all of you that have applied to college have written an essay and im writing one with the basic question what personal qualities could i bring to the college community? I'm just wonder like what kinda of things ppl put just like traits or things they plann on doing at college or what?This would be a huge help thanks everyone

Talk about stuff that sets you apart. i.e. I run a trip every year to Rwanda with high school students and I talked about how I would bring that to the community to expand kids perspective of the world. Also, I'm a board member for a foundation named The MicoLoan Foundation (micro lending group for women in Malawi) and I talked about how I would get the colleges I'm applying to involved and get our own branch of of micro financing. A bunch of other shit too, basically find unique shit about yourself and explain how it would help enrich the community.

Intelligent, hard working, raised with clear and logical morals that you adhere to ( don't have to say what they are, just say that you were raised that way), and that you will contribute to the knowledgeable and worldly community that is the university.

Another great thing to talk about is how you really look forward to contributing to the campus community and how you feel you could benifit the campus community. As well as what the person above said about unique things. Maybe even with skiing you could potentially try to start a group at the school and get younger kids in the community to learn to ski. Best thing is to find something now that will really make you stand out when you apply.
I have a similar essay to write for the grad school I am applying to. Fortunately the last year I have been working with an all women skateboard company that encourages all ages of women to participate in the action sports community and with in this we have started a clothing line as well as selling skate inspired printed skate decks designed by female artists. I basically am writing about how I would like to be able to develop my skills farther with the MBA so that I can truly have the skills to see the company grow and succeed.
So basically, pick the greatest thing you are doing or want to do and apply it to how the school will help you and how you will help the school.
