Lisa,
I'm hoping you can answer a question for me regarding an essay on the UT McCombs application. The question asks:
At the McCombs School of Business, you will be part of an active and diverse community. How will you use your personal strengths and unique experiences to enrich the McCombs community during your two years in the program?
For this question, I wrote an essay that talks about one element of my past (a rough youth), and how it bred multiple personality characteristics that will allow me to make a meaningful contribution at UT. Do you think this approach is sound? I'm concerned because the question asks about personal strengths and unique experiences, but I'm really only talking about one experience that led to the development of many personal strengths. With only 500 words to write this essay, I felt that focusing on one powerful experience would be much stronger than listing a bunch of events in my life.
What do you think?
