<p>So I finally got around to working on it.
On the first prompt, "what is your intended major", what if I am using the PS for UCI's Global Cultures major and UCLA's Linguistics and Asian Languages and Cultures. Pretty much I have the thing written but it's more like I answered the question what do you want to be. I explained why I wanted to teach English in a foreign country and stuff like that but I have never in my 357 words mentioned Global Cultures or Linguistics.</p>
<p>Do you think the prompt is just... misleading? That we should talk about our aims not the school's major?</p>
<p>No I think it means intended major, but you are allowed to select alternates so maybe mention how each would apply to what you want to do?</p>
<p>Oh. So I should really mention the particular major you want to get into with that school. and just say OR blah blah blah major.</p>
<p>I am mentioning the particular major I am to and what made me interested in it, I think your majors are similar enough to be able to do this. What do others recommend??</p>
<p>IDK. No other responses. I think I’m just going to mention everything why I want to become a teacher… and then in the last paragraph say like with these tihngs, I chose to do this major.</p>
<p>I think that sounds like a good plan</p>
<p>Hahhaa omg… Another person that started their essay TODAY?! HOLY **** CC, YOU ARE HILARIOUS!</p>
<p>@USN: Yeah I just did it like that. I finished it with 492 words in 3 paragraphs.</p>
<p>@CalBerks I know… and you are very helpful. :D</p>
<p>I know, I’m not being helpful. I apologize for that, but seriously, why didn’t you start this earlier? This is a serious question, I’m interested to know how other human beings think.</p>
<p>Oh. It’s because I have a 27 unit school load, going to two schools with Psycholinguistics, Linguistics Anthropology and Intercultural Linguistics. The PsychoLing and LingAnth are really heavy classes. Also, I have two Honors Geography class that demands reading and map making. What else…? My time at home usually consists of doing my Child Development online class.</p>
<p>I really did not have the time. I had at least three papers a week. I had to double up on some of the recent weeks to just get some work squeezed in my apps. I was doing them while I sit in lecture, taking notes and it’s just the PS that I didn’t get to do.</p>
<p>I’m more concerned that the admissions officers want to learn something about you as a person. The prompt “What is your intended major?” only needs one sentence in your introduction or conclusion to answer, and you build up to that answer by telling a good story.</p>
<p>Hopefully, that is what you have already done.</p>
