Is it a bad idea to have multiple sentences in the profile section? (Not the essay of course).
The application says to include aspirations for the summer seminar so should I include that in the essay even though addressing the summer seminar doesn't fit into the essay prompt (Describe an experience in your life when you served a purpose greater than yourself (2000 characters max) )
If I know I will be holding certain leadership positions in the future such as team and club captain but haven't already yet, should I include them?
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps out!
 
You have to answer the question.

I don't see a problem with multiple sentences in the profile section.
The essay prompt is for you to describe a past experience. Aspirations are a future goals. Therefore, aspirations for SS do not go into the past experience essay. Future leadership positions can indeed qualify as aspirations.
PS: Try to avoid the 3 D's (drugs, death, divorce) in your essay. Also I would avoid the "being in the middle of the pack during a X-country race then going on to win" doesn't qualify as serving a greater purpose then yourself, IMO.
Good luck!

I used a time when I served veterans from a veterans hospital I think that is good. Still confused on where the academy wants me to put aspirations down. Thank you though, I appreciate it!
 
You could ask an English teacher for clarification on how to set up your responses if you can’t figure it out. That’s their jam.
