I’m looking for some help Macalester’s Supplement Essay. It’s asking about how my background, experiences, and outlook can contribute to Mac. I’m from small-town white America, so I’m not sure if that’s an idea or not. I’ve only left the country once (Spain, this summer), but other than that, I don’t know. Anyone have tips?
I am in the same boat right now with my Macalester essay. I have no idea what to put because nothing is really unique and worth mentioning about my life and background in Pennsyltucky.
I am putting more emphasis on what I will contribute to campus rather than what my background is.
^^ reminded me of pennsatucky

Alright, so write about contributing. But how do I go about it without sounding ‘preachy’ or ‘these are why I am a great student and you should pick me?’
