Rutgers College Essay Help!

This is the question- Please use the space below to tell us how you believe a Rutgers education will help you achieve your personal enrichment or career goals.

I’m having a hard time answering this question as I’m not entirely sure what they’re looking for in the response.

What I have so far-
As an aspiring and growing college student I must broaden my knowledge to the community which I reside in. Rutgers University possesses the ability to both educate me academically and culturally to the world around me. Through its large and diverse community I would be able to expose myself to something new and unique everyday. To climb to a higher level of enrichment all I must do is walk out the front door and speak with the thousands of people from all over the world who are enrolled to the university. The campus also hosts hundreds of classes, programs, and events which can help educate me and steer me down a path of understanding and acceptance.
Rutgers is culturally rich and unique. New levels of personal enrichment would be achieved everyday both inside and outside of the classroom. To attend a college and community as diverse as Rutgers would also help me achieve a secondary goal of mine which is to explore the world. While attending the university I would be able to expose myself to a new culture everyday allowing a higher sense of understanding and acceptance of how others live their daily lives. ___
Educating one’s self is also an important step to enriching one’s self. Rutgers pertains a national standard in terms of educational prowess. The campus offers hundreds of classes through hundreds of subjects. All one must do is take the first step and be willing to absorb the vast amount of knowledge offered. Through a stellar education and large community to build relationships with pursuing my personal career goals will become much more of a reality. People always say life-long friendships are made at college. Life-long friendships are also the stepping stones towards building a powerful network to empower and posses the ability to take your life into your own hands.

I understand my essay is terrible. I cringe while reading it. But I just can’t figure out how to answer this question! Please help!

Just a warning: You should not post your essays on the forums where everyone can see them, as (sadly) some people may plagiarize and whatnot. You should instead PM people who agree to read your essay and provide feedback.

This essay isn’t specific to Rutgers at all! You could replace Rutgers with any other university and the essay wouldn’t be any different. What in particular do you like about Rutgers? What is something that you like to do…be it academically or activity-based…that you think Rutgers will give you more of a chance to explore than any other school?

  1. The Rutgers deadline passed. (though you can still submit it)
  2. Isn't this the question? Rutgers requires that you provide a short essay that is your original work. Please reflect on what you consider to be an important personal experience related to your talents, interests, or commitments. Using this experience, please tell us what you learned about yourself. How will this experience prepare you for success at Rutgers? It certainly was for my application.Is this for grad school?
  3. Honestly if you have the stats your essay really doesn't matter that much. Mine sucked and I got in.
