<p>Although you may not yet know what you want to major in, which department or program at MIT appeals to you and why? (*) (100 words or fewer)</p>
<p>^^^ thats the prompt. i want to go for the department of biology but i cant figure out how to write it so that it sounds interesting and unique and not just normal "i like biology. mit has biology"</p>
<p>does anyone know any interesting facts about the program or anything that can help me?</p>
<p>This is your opportunity to exhibit your ability to do your own research about Bio at MIT. The school expects you to know how to employ online resources to become familiar with the biology department, and communicate your findings, and excitement, in your essay.</p>
<p>mit.edu would certainly contain much about the program, as well as googling individual profs and their research topics.</p>
<p>Find out what undergraduate research opportunities are available in biology. Find out what distinctions and awards have been given to MIT students or professors in this area. The award isn’t what’s important. The work being recognized is. Outside of the class, what about biology at MIT is important to you…as opposed to State University XYZ. You should already know this.</p>
