College Essays

<p>I want to apply to Brown and my supplements need to be great. The thing is, the biggest thing that draws me to Brown is it's Open Curriculum. But I feel that this is so cliche that I will not be able to stand out from others.</p>

<p>Here is what I wanted to talk about, in relationship to the Open Curriculum.</p>

<p>-talk about how I have a wide array of interests in terms of what I would like to study, from all academic departments (by that, I hope you know I mean Science, Math, English, History, Foreign Language)</p>

<p>-Mention how I took online classes in order to give me more options in terms of classes</p>

<p>-Mention how I took only classes that I am truly interested in, which is why I did not take AP Lit (mention that I did not enjoy AP Language) and instead chose Dystopian and Mythical Creatures for my English class (Online).</p>

<p>-Mention how, by taking classes I am only interested in, I will dive into the class a lot more and lead discussions that are a lot more interesting.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Anything I should take out? Anything I should highlight?</p>

<p>Be careful about not liking any subject. D does not like foreign languages and I have cautioned her from saying this on apps. I think what you have written speaks to intellectual curiosity without being cliche, so your fine. You could make it more brown specific</p>
