Common App Essay

Is the CMC supplement essay meant to focus more on you as a student, or on your reasons to attend CMC?

I’ve written a draft (If anyone’s interested in seeing the full text, PM me) that talks about the need I see for improved civics education, and segues into my reasons for attending CMC (Mainly: to understand the things I so ardently believe others need to know). I’m worried it’s a bit light on the “why CMC?” aspect. Thoughts?

My supplement essay focused on how I thought CMC was the right fit for me. I honestly think you can go either way in addressing it.

Keep in mind at least a little of it is to ascertain whether you really want to go to CMC and have looked into CMC a lot.
