Try to work backward. Pick an important story from your life and then figure out what community it was a part of. Ultimately, you're writing about yourself here (again), so the story is more important than the community.
For the first supplemental essay, is it alright if I spent 1/3 of it talking about how I will continue to carry out my role at UMich? Or should I cut that application paragraph down to 1-3 sentences and focus more on my current role in my community?
I am applying to CS at UM. For the community essay, I plan to discuss the clubs I established in grades 9 and 12 (at different schools) that show the effects and dangers of tech through after-school debates, and teach Python basics, respectively. Since the second essay will touch on these points, do you suggest that I talk about a different topic for my community essay?
@@jasonpatel13 Okay, thanks for the quick response! Can both essays, however, show my interest in technology and programming? Or, should I talk about something like family for the community essay?

Thank you, I now have ideas on what to write
Glad I could help!
I love the brainstorming idea but I am still stumped on what community I would want to write about.

Definitely don’t touch on the same things in your essays. There should not be crossover. Keep things new and fresh.

For the community essay, is it alright if I tie the community into my passion for so and so major? Or is it better to leave it for the Why Us Essay?
I would stick with community and leave that for the Why Us essay.
@@jasonpatel13 Thank you!!
You deserve a lot more views and subscribers. Amazing work! Btw can you just check the essay that I wrote?
Could an interest you're passionate about be your community?
Yes, but remember to show action! You need to show the reader what exactly you did you act on your passion.
