<p>what do u think is important in Reed's supplemental essays</p>

<p>discussing why you like reed. specific examples are good. show dont tell.</p>

<p>yeah, i agree with onilawliet. use specific examples and dont use the same general essay for every school. also, do some research so your essay is more unique.</p>

<p>I'd add: don't just explain why Reed is right for you, also explain why YOU are right for Reed. It's a subtle, but important distinction. (And this applies to all "why this school?" essays, not just Reed's).</p>
