For Colgate University Supplemental essay, I write about 13 things I love about Colgate, two of which are about LAC education and the rest are about Colgate life and distinct features. Is this approach fine as long as I express some things I can contribute between the lines?
It sounds appropriate. Can you add things you can contribute, but spell it out proudly (not just “between the lines”).
For example, “I love the great gym” vs. “I love the great gym, where I will play intramural volleyball”.
