<p>Research the school and the department that you want to be in. Determine why you are truly a perfect fit to attend Brown University. How will your educational experience at Brown be significantly different than if you were to attend another university, whose program for your major, is similar? What about the student life and other extracurricular opportunities that it offers? Do certain professors in your field of study have interesting research interests that align with your interests? Does it provide unique opportunities (study abroad, etc.) that other universities would not offer, or would not offer in the same capacity? Does they financial aid package suit your family’s financial situation? Do they have opportunities for certain scholarships? How does attending this university play into your overall academic/career plan? Do you want to attend grad school after graduating? </p>
<p>Ask yourself all of these questions, and then express that in your essay/personal statement. Good luck</p>
