Just make sure you are highlighting what you learned from that experience and how that connects to other aspects of your personal profile.

Hi. I'm just starting my Personal Profile. Quick question: if I include what my accomplishments and what I've learnt from them in my response to this question, wouldn't I be repeating myself when I get to the extracurricular portion of the personal profile?

@MaddyA

7 ай бұрын

Great question - the extra curricular section of the personal profile (if I remember correctly) only gives you about 50 words to describe each activity. If there is one or two you want to talk about more in depth then go for it! I would not dedicate this whole question to talking about extracurriculars are, though. They can be part of it, but it may be more fitting to address them in a different question.

@MaddyA

7 ай бұрын

@@davinaelesin4237 This section is very different from the extracurricular section so in theory, you shouldn't be repeating yourself. You can certainly speak to some of your extracurricular experiences in the "what have you done, what have you learned and how has that made you who you are today?" section if they have in fact contributed to your growth. The extracurricular section doesn't give you space to dive deep or reflect in the same way. Not sure if that clears things up? Not sure how else to answer your question. Keep in mind the personal profile may have changed in the past 4 years so best to check UBC's website for any major changes!

A small question, how can I prevent myself from repeating myself. For example, in your essay you talked about the vice principal calling you up for being a counsellor, in my case my head of year called me up to create a anti-cyberbullying presentation and also told me that I should do Business lessons on entrepreneurship for younger students. This was as a result of my writing of a book for younger students. So the problem is, I wanna talk about this later on in my extracurriculars too cuz its a major thing; writing a book. Should I refrain from mentioning it in the 'Tell me about yourself' essay or just touch upon it; releasing full details later on. Thank you so much for your videos and if you answer this, you will make my life!
