<p>Short Essay: In a few sentences, please tell us why BU is a good fit for you and what specifically has led you to apply for admission?</p>

<p>I believe that Boston University is the best fit for me because it has everything I want in a school. Most importantly, it has the education I am looking for. It has many majors and minors to choose from, and me being the indecisive person that I am, still cannot choose one. Lucky for me, BU has the College of General Studies which would allow me to take courses in BU’s other colleges, helping me find what I want to major in. With my many interests I will probably want to have two majors and at BU I can have two majors in two different colleges. I do not know of any other school that would allow me to do that. There are also many opportunities at BU, such as studying abroad and participating in one of the many activities and clubs. BU is also in the city, which is a must for me. When I visited the campus I knew Boston is where I want to attend school. I honestly do not know what other University could be better suited for me. BU is my perfect fit and that is what has led me to apply for admission.</p>

<p>Pretty good essay. Two minor notes though:</p>

<p>1) I don’t know that you need to capitalize the word “university” in the second-to-last sentence.
2) Personally, I would take out the line “I do not know of any other school that would allow me to do that”. I’m not a big fan of it because I can think of many universities that do allow someone to get two degrees from two different colleges. I don’t think it’d hurt you if you left it in, but I personally don’t think it’s necessary.</p>

<p>Otherwise I think you did a pretty good job. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>you might take out the sentence suggested above, and replace it with a more specific detail about why BU’s right for you–mention one or two particular departments that relate to your interests, or give a couple of reasons you liked the look or feel of the campus or of Boston, or of the neighborhood.</p>
