I was recently nominated for a full-ride scholarship at one of the colleges that accepted me. In order to get this scholarship, I have to write an essay. This is the prompt:
“Your education is your own. Share two questions you have about ___, and explain why the questions and the answers matter to you.”
I have no idea what to ask! I was thinking about doing one academic, serious one and one about student life that is maybe more lighthearted. I want both to be sort of out of the box and something that they haven’t seen before. Any ideas or thoughts?
Thanks!!
I am trying to help you. I’m telling you that you should be doing your own work to come up with your own idea for your essay. Just because a piece of advice might be something that you don’t want to hear doesn’t mean that you should immediately disregard it. If you really are stuck, ask someone who knows you in real life and can maybe suggest something that suits the kind of person you are.
Please clarify what you mean?
Share two questions you have about ____.
What is the blank? Are you supposed to fill that in?
If so…start there…what is it you are going to have two questions about?
I’m guessing the blank is the name of the university.
@BelknapPoint To clarify, I am not asking for answers or people to do the essay for me. If you do not like what I am posting, feel free to ignore my post
No one will give you essay ideas on here.
CC has a strict policy about helping students with homework. I think this falls into that area – work that’s supposed to be done by you. That’s fortunate for you because colleges don’t want to hear our voice, they want to hear yours.
Go to the college website and start exploring. Jot down any questions that come to mind, then use them to start brainstorming your essay. Good luck.
I understand what you’re asking for, and like others I’m pointing out that what you’re asking for should come from you or someone who knows you reasonably well (your personality, writing style, etc.).
Looks like a U Miami prompt.
