<p>Is the goal of this essay for you to describe why you like MIT specifically or why the topic interests you?</p>
<p>Good question…would be great if someone could answer.</p>

<p>Well, you can write about either, certainly. The purpose of the essay is more to talk about the department/major/career of your choice, not really MIT specifically, but if you’d like to talk about why you’d like to study that at MIT, you’re more than welcome.</p>
