Question about Supplement

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

I am doing prompt 4. It says:

“Jesuit education stresses the importance of the liberal arts and sciences, character formation, commitment to the common good, and living a meaningful life. How do you think your personal goals and academic interests will help you grow both intellectually and personally during college?”

Was this supposed to be answered generally or about at BC specifically? I talked about my goals(intellectually and personally) and focused a lot on why BC was a good fit for it. Was that how I was supposed to do it? My essay became more of a “why BC?” essay so I’m not sure if it fits the prompt properly.

Hey class0f2017, I am applying to BC as well, and I am doing the same prompt. I tried to mix in specifics from Boston College in my essay to show them that I did my research and really want to go there. Maybe you can try to mix it in as well.

Do you want to dm your essay so I can take a look at it? I might not be able to help too much but I can try.

I’m applying too, prompt 4, I was thinking of referencing stuff about their school as well as how their Jesuit ideals match my own religious ideals of helping other people and the world.
