<p>How do you answer those short paragraph questions that ask you to tell them why you chose that specific college? Do you have to be creative on that too? Or just honest? Do you have to research and give background information on that college?</p>
<p>Be very, very specific. This is how colleges weed out kids who don't really want to go there. Anyone can write, "I love the friendly atmosphere and I want to be challenged." But only the ones who truly love the school will say, "I have heard wonderful things about professor xxxx's class so i listened in on one of his lectures on an overnight visit and i loved it" or "i am so excited about possibly contributing to the xxxxxx section of the newspaper since i have been reading it daily since second grade."</p>
