Creative or direct in the UC prompts?

We Answered:

There is no set answer for this. Basically the answer you got are THEIR preferences not yours. This is up to you, if the UCs said they wanted it in a specific way, then they would tell you. All you have to do is make sure you answer the prompts whether you do it creatively, or impersonally.

I'm going the creative route for my second prompt (well honestly it's a bit of both, creative and kinda direct, it's hard to explain). But my first prompt is def going to be direct, I just don't see anyway to make a creative answer out of a "Why did you choose this major?"

Contact me if you've got any more questions, I'm in the process of doing my apps as well, and I hate to be doing this alone, cause I sometimes feel I may not be doing this right. Anyway, good luck!

Any good suggestions for a creative short story plot? Underlying theme is "clash of realities"?

We Answered:

um... maybe do something about a person realizing that the grass isn't greener on the other side, or maybe it is

There is a great book called the boy in the striped pajamas which is about the holocaust, and his slow realization of a boy about what his father was doing in one of the concentration camps (he was a Nazi), and all the while he had a friend on the other side of the wall that separated the camp from the other people.

So maybe something like that... i hope i could help
