<p>Here's the question
1.With the understanding that the choice of academic school you indicated is not binding, explain why you are applying to that particular school of study</p>
<p>For this question
I ficused more on what I want to study (policy studies)
and rlly not much about the school of social science.
(maybe like three lines)
Does this get off topic?</p>
<p>I don’t see why that doesn’t work. I also focused on my planned major (PoliSci) more than on the school as a whole. I would think that focusing instead of the school of social sciences would be too general.</p>
<p>That is fine. I think it is better as a matter of fact as you can explain what you want to do at Rice instead of trying to say why you like an entire school of study</p>
<p>Focusing on your academic interests instead of the school overall isn’t a bad idea at all, especially when academic schools here mean very little besides departmental organization.</p>
