I was wondering what I should write about (I’ve never written an essay for an application before) and especially for only 250 words. I don’t know whether to make the essay a direct answer to the prompt or a more narrative-like essay–or what even should I consider writing about in the latter case.
I would say the usual- be passionate but also specific. It helps to use specific information- I don’t have any lab/research experience, but I mentioned two of my classes specifically and why I enjoyed them, which I think helps a lot.
Just answer the prompt. Your academics and how you do on the placement exam carry almost all the weight.
Is this scuence honors programme same as global immersion programme
@USUG21 I’m not sure what you mean by a “global immersion programme”- SHP is just students can take classes in a science subject (biochem, virology, orgo chem, quantum mechanics, programming, etc.) that they’re interested in. Runs every Saturday at Columbia (hence the name).
