Is this essay off-topic?

<p>Well, I wrote an essay for Ullinois that was decent. The prompt asked to relate your personal interests to your professional goals.</p>

<p>I'm trying to use this same essay (with a few tweaks) for a Purdue prompt, asking how my college education will help me achieve my personal and professional goals. I'm having a tough time addressing this question without sounding too general and corny. And I think I talk about my interests much more than how my education will really help me.</p>

<p>Can anyone read this and help me out?</p>
