Why X or DS?
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 3:37 pm
I am an older applicant, with a variety of work experiences (teaching, acting, working with my wife to create and run her own successful business). Many of my experiences have overlapped, allowing me to become used to working 60-70 hours a week, and become successful in each field. I also own my own home, and have dealt with negotiating mortgage interest rates, and the contracts and offer/counter-offer process of real estate.
I understand that none of this makes me as diverse as race/religion/SES disadvantage/etc, but I do believe they provide me with some unique qualities and insights that I could add to a school's entering class. Would these be better addressed in a DS, or in a Why X essay, tying them to specific programs/visions within certain schools?
