<p>one of my college essay prompts is:
How did you first learn about [college name]?</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm not quite sure how to go about this. There's a fairly large space for me to fill. Ideas?</p>
<p>Well, how did you first learn about it?</p>
<p>honestly, I don't remember. I think I heard about it on a website somewhere, probably CC :P Anyway, this doesn't provide effective essay fodder and there's a huge blank space I need to fill, and I'm feeling kind of obligated to fill that space with an interesting story. But I'm not sure if that's possible</p>
<p>bump.</p>
<p>sorry</p>
<p>Is there also a "why I want to go to X college" essay? </p>
<p>You could say what you said above and then start in on how you're glad you found out because you like college x for the following reasons. </p>
<p>Is there a word limit for this essay?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there's also a "Why do you want to attend this college?" essay :( but that is a great idea</p>
<p>gahh, "where did you hear about our college" is such a weird essay prompt...</p>
