any IDEAS for this topic??

<p>TOPIC
1. Explain in detail why you wish to attend ___ College; please evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your formal education to date.</p>

<p>I don't know how to deal specifically to the second part... I am applying to a school where I have to write 4 essays and they are VERY important part of the application. can someone advice me on answering this question. How do I begin?? may be some opening line? ...any kind of inputs are welcomed.</p>

<p>The two parts are in fact linked; maybe that's part of the problem you're having in getting started. What about your HS education has made you the kind of student that will hit the ground running at X college and make the most of what they have to offer? What missing piece from your HS education can X college supply? For example, you love studying the classics, but there's no ancient Greek taught at your school...you wish you had better music theory under you belt, and X college provides that opportunity....you love studying French, but your HS only has strength in Spanish, and X college can make up for that. Things like that. Think positively, though: Where your HS education has given you lemons, write about how X college can help you make lemonade. Your HS has a great writing program, but not so great in history; you want to write about history. X college has great history. &c.</p>

<p>If you have something you want to study, and the college you are applying to has special programs for that particular study, then you should definitely go into detail about that.
about your passion into that area and how you think the College will help educate you accordingly.
Talk about how you've taken opportunities (or that your school did not offer such opportunities, and that was a weakness of your formal education) during high school in order to go further into that particular interest.</p>

<p>This shouldn't be a very hard essay. just write what you think is your reason for applying to this college.</p>

<p>thanks a lot!</p>
