Supplements

<p>My colleges really only want a paragraph for the supplements. So I pretty much need to say what I want to say as succinctly as I can. I'm not much of a fluffer in the first place, anyway, but are these supposed to be creatively written? A lot of the supplement questions spark creative thought in the first place, so if the idea is conveyed, then does it really matter if it's the most interestingly constructed paragraph the world has ever seen? </p>

<p>And as for the "What interested you in our school?" essay. For one school, would I be able to write that, during my interview, I was told that the school really takes advantage of the historical sites around it, and these cultural experiences are what I want? And then that I was talking to a student at their school, and she said that they develop writing skills very well in their students, which is something I really do look for in a school. Is that too much about the school and not enough about me? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think that you should start off the supplement with yourself and then weave in why this school would help you in such a way. For the "what interested you in our school" questions you should try to find something unique about the college or university. They're looking for a smart, witty student who stands out from the crowd. Make your supplement refreshing. Because, after all, the supplement was added by the school to "get to know you better." They want to know your character. So be honest and creative! Show them the attractive side of you as a candidate for their school.</p>
