<p>Physical sciences applicants must submit an additional supplement, and all questions seem straightforward except the final one:</p>

<p>“Briefly describe the course(s) you have taken relating to your chosen field.”</p>

<p>I cannot decide whether they are looking for simply a listing of classes, or an elaboration on how these classes fit together. They know which classes I have taken from looking at my transcript, so it almost seems too simple just to list them.</p>

<p>And you are 100% right. Every question on the app is a chance to showcase yourself. They are looking to hear why you want to study the physical sciences so don’t simply list the courses but explain what drove you to pick them.</p>

<p>I take ‘briefly describe’ to mean that you have a little room to fill the reader in on the scope or content of the class, or better, what you got out of it.</p>
