How will you write your college extracurricular activity essay? The Common Application used to ask you to “elaborate” on one of your extracurricular activities in 150 words.

Tufts is a private research university in the suburbs of Boston, and it wants to be your quirky aunt. By that we mean it has academics on par with top-tier schools and flaunts an intentionally eccentric school spirit.
