<p>Any tips as to how to tackle the essay? Is there anything in particular they like/dislike?</p>
<p>Well, a few months ago, A admissions lady came to my school and gave us sample BU essays. She said that you would want to stay away from essays that are really broad, like "I love the location and colleges". They like specifics and details, so try to be concise.</p>
<p>Yes, be sure to mention specific things that you like. Make them very specific things that may only apply to you. If not, your essay will be vague and generic.</p>
<p>alright thanks guys</p>
