[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 191058, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=34744]@SamaraJ[/USER] 🥳 I think it’s worth approaching it as a “catch-all” question which gives you the opportunity to showcase all the brilliant aspects of your profile that might not fit neatly into standard motivational or competency questions on application forms. For me, I’ve always found that having a structured approach works best for this type of question, given how broad and open-ended the question can seem. An organised approach will make it much easier for the reader. When I answered similar questions, I'd use the first paragraph to highlight any academic scholarships or achievements I’d received, as they’re often strong. From there, I moved on to talk about extracurricular roles or achievements, like my volunteer roles abroad, which showed a bit more of my personality and some of the unique things I've had the chance to get involved in. Finally, I’d wrap things up with a paragraph about my key hobbies and interests, like my love of improvised comedy, my attempts to learn French, and my extensive travelling/backpacking. Again, I think adding these little details help make your application feel more personal. As always, this is just one way to approach the question, and you should definitely take an approach that feels authentic to you and which you think best showcases [I]your[/I] profile. That said, whatever structure you go with, I’d recommend ensuring each paragraph focuses on a distinct area (whether that’s academic achievements, extracurriculars, or personal interests) and flows smoothly into the next. I'm sure [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] and [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] would also have much to say here! Good luck with your application. I’m sure you’ll smash it! And if you have any more questions, feel free to ask! [/QUOTE]
