<p>So i am applying to Notre Dame and Michigan as a transfer for this upcoming spring/winter semester and i need some advice with the essays. Michigan's essay topics, diversity, education progress and greatest setback allow me to be creative in my essay. I managed to incorporate into the essays my topics well while still making it interesting. Notre Dame on the other hand has the essay as this: </p>
<p>How does the University of Notre Dame, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning and future? You should include your academic reasons for choosing the major you have listed. If you have had a change in major or extenuating circumstances, be sure to explain it. Present yourself in a carefully written, honest reflection.</p>
<p>Should i attempt to be creative or straight to the point about what, academically, there is at notre dame and not at the school i am at now or any other. I want the essay to be to the point but i also don't want it to be boring... Any advice?</p>
