How can I show my passion for a subject in my college application?

Hi all, I'm a junior, and I'm passionate about history. How can I best convey my enthusiasm for this subject in my college application? Are there specific things I should focus on or include to show that I'm truly passionate about it? Thanks for any input!

Hi there! It's great to hear that you're passionate about history. There are several ways to demonstrate your enthusiasm for the subject in your college application, and I'm happy to share some tips based on my child's experience when they applied. First, make sure to include any history-related activities or clubs you've participated in, such as a history club, debate team, or even a historical reenactment group. Secondly, if you've done any volunteer work or internships related to history, like working at a museum or a historical site, be sure to mention those as well. In your personal essay, you can choose a prompt that allows you to discuss a historical event or figure that has inspired you and explain why it has had a significant impact on your life. Finally, if you have any academic awards or achievements in history, like placing in a history competition, be sure to highlight those. By incorporating these elements into your application, you can effectively convey your passion for history to the admissions committee. Best of luck with your application!
