<p>So for the Michigan supplemental essay "Describe the unique qualities that attract you to the school in which you are applying," I basically wrote about how I'm an undecided major and how being an LSA student would give me a chance to explore a multitude of disciplines, etc. BUT I also get into basically why I want to go to Michigan, and I mention ways in which I would thrive at Michigan in ways OTHER THAN ACADEMICS. </p>
<p>Is that ok? Or is this essay strictly for academia?</p>
<p>Bump? Anyone???</p>
<p>That’s basically what they’re asking for, so yeah. I was in a similar boat as you and wrote something along those same lines. They want to know what about the academics appeals to you but they also understand that a huge part of college is the social/community/artistic/entertainment aspect and they want to hear what attracts you to that part of it as well. Just keep it as concise as possible and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>In working on your essay, don’t limit your thoughts on why you want to go U-M and you will do well there but think about reasons that U-M would want you to go there. Part of university admissions is selecting students whom they think will contribute to the university community. How will presence at U-M make U-M a better experience for others who will be there? Think about collaborative learning experiences.</p>
