How to write a why essay?

<p>I'm finished with everything else for my apps besides the why essays. I've been putting them off for weeks because I actually have no idea how to write one. I don't know how to start, or what to say, or how to make it about me while also being about the school. I have 4 of them to write so I need to hurry up. Can someone help me out? Any advice or words of wisdom or examples?</p>

<p>You can probably find examples online… but you should show that you’ve researched the school a bit. That means that the essay shouldn’t be generic to all the schools you are applying to; so make sure they are specific to a particular college.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ve started doing some googling and I’ve found a few but a lot of them are crap.</p>
