Advice and tips:
Although it would be easy to list all the awards you have won in the activity you are best in, this prompt is looking for something deeper and more meaningful. It is perfectly fine to describe an activity you are dedicated to, but also think about the character and personality traits that tie into the activity, such as tenacity, honesty, and compassion. The key is to elucidate why this activity is worth putting all your time into, and how your personality strengths are exhibited through this activity. Describe the beauty and the meaning of the activity, convincing the admissions officers that this activity rightly takes precedence over everything else.
Do not be put off by this prompt if you have not won any big awards. All the prompt asks for is what you think is your greatest talent or skill.
Make sure to also address how you have developed and demonstrated this talent. Do you put in small amounts of practice every day, or strenuous hours for a couple short periods each year? Why do you allocate your time this way? How have you shown off your talent or skill to other people? Have you won competitions, done performances, gotten into showcases, or shined artistically? Here are a few examples:
A star on your schools tennis team, you have been playing ever since you were seven. Now, as the varsity MVP, you have led your team to a first place finish in the regional conference and have placed second at the state level. As the captain, you have settled numerous feuds between players, as well as spiked team morale toward the end of the seasons. In this case, you could discuss the valuable leadership and teamwork experience you have gained through playing on the tennis team.
As a flute player who has not yet won any big competitions or played in any honor ensembles, you visited the local senior center to entertain the residents each week without fail. There, you found great meaning in your flute playing sharing your love of music with others.
