<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>So I'm working on the short answer in the supplement right now and I'm not sure if I should be saying "I would" (i.e. I would study this) or "I will". They ask the questions with how you WILL engage academically but I feel rather presumptuous using "I will" as it makes it sound like I'm certain I'll get in.</p>
<p>Opinions would be greatly appreciated (:</p>
<p>The question says how will you engage academically in your specific school.</p>
<p>I would use will if your writing it as an incoming freshman or maybe write the essay as if you are a year into your studies already. I am not an expert. I am just someone trying to help</p>
<p>You can pull off the essay saying I will without sounding over confident/cocky</p>
<p>Be Blessed!</p>
<p>I agree with collegeboundJon. If it specifically says “will” in the question, than I have a feeling it wants you to write “will” instead of “would.”</p>
