Hi folks! Do y’all have any advice on finding lesser-known information about a college that can be used in essay(s) to show that you really do care about a certain college you’re applying for?
I’m applying for NC State, Wake Forest University, Elon University, Davidson College, App State, Duke University, High Point, and UNC.
Thanks!
You don’t have to find ‘lesser known info’ to write a good ‘why us’ essay.
Start by looking for classes you’d like to take, profs you’d like to do research with, and/or student organizations that you would be involved with, or even start.
Start with your major you are applying with and look at research or institutes at the colleges. What interests you about being there and taking advantage of that opportunity.
Be genuine. No one can give you a list for that 
Can you go visit any of them? If not, join online sessions from different departments and majors. I know NC state offered some last year.
Got it. Thank you!
Thanks!
This is the kind of information I’ve for quite some time been attempting to discover. Thank you for sharing this information.
