about the essay..

<p>hi ! I was going to start writing Rutgers Essay.. and i was wondering, how do i have to write it..??
essay prompt is
"Rutgers University is a vibrant community of people with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. How would you benefit from and contribute to such an environment? Consider variables such as your talents, travels, leadership activities, volunteer services, and cultural experiences."</p>

<p>can i answer it as "I believe i can contribute... "
or
do i base it on an experience like a story..??</p>

<p>You can start it anyway you like, but be sure to include examples of your statements. Don’t just make statements without giving details.</p>

<p>Ooh, a story would be nice. Either way is fine :)</p>

<p>But I agree with rualum, if you are going to go the non-story telling route, make sure you just don’t say “For my whole life, I have been surrounded by diversity” and then just end it there without giving supporting details or examples.</p>

<p>a story would probably be more interesting and unique :slight_smile: especially something that’s personal. i actually had a lot of fun writing this essay last year.</p>

<p>The essay was different for me. I thought they changed it this year. I’m a transfer, but transfers have the same application as freshmen. Unless the essay changes once you select transfer in the application. Sorry I’m not helping, but I thought it was weird mine was different.</p>

<p>ok! thank you!! :)</p>

<p>and for ziggy 90>> i just checked the essay prompt and above one is correct… hmm weird…</p>
