Question # 4. What are you most passionate about? (300 word maximum)

You need to be careful in choosing content for this essay, because you have already discussed a part of your personality and interests/passion when introducing yourself in Essay 1. So you should consider these two questions as opportunities to show your uniqueness that sets you apart from other Ross candidates. Make sure not to repeat those aspects of your personality here that you have already revealed in Essay # 1.

Also, when discussing skills, interests, hobbies that you are passionate about, illustrate them by giving real life examples. For example, simply stating that you are passionate about particular sports is not sufficient, you should also reflect on ways you have evidenced that passion in your life eg. by playing it on a regular basis, and by watching live matches. You should talk about your passion in such a way that gives the reader an insight into the purpose of your pursuit.
