hi regarding Stanford essay, if I am not mistaken, Sandy mentioned that we may approach the essay by writing our goals and influences. But there is another optional essay that also asks this: We know that each person is more than a list of facts or pre-defined categories. We are interested in how your background may have influenced your life experiences. In answering this question, consider how your background, such as your work, education, skills, interests, culture, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, where/how you grew up, and/or other factors had an impact on your recent actions and choices (up to 1,200 characters, or approximately 200 words). Tell us about a time within the last three years when your background influenced your participation in a situation, interaction, or project. How should we navigate between these 2 essays?
This is a great channel with great videos. However, it would be very helpful if either Sandy or John could take the liberty and answers some of the questions may arise in the comment section. I will just leave this comment as a humble request!
