Hi, I'm applying to the USC Fall 2020 program as a graduate student. I'm working on my Collaboration Questions essays. The prompts are -
1. A project that you have been a part of that failed.
2. A project that left you feeling proud
I am planning to write one essay in an interview format and the other one like a story. Is this a good idea, especially with collaboration questions? I know people write their personal statements in various creative ways. And I think they are looking at our ability to tell a story and invoke emotions in the readers but I was still doubtful of my approach. Also, can my essays be more personal instead of just stating went wrong or right?
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!
