Hi everybody,
I’ve been writing my college supplementary essays for a while now, and it seems like I’ve hit a block with my Academic Interests essay.
Can any of you offer me advice with regards to how I can write a good response to this thread?
My intended major in International Relations.
Thank you!
Some questions to think about are: What led you to become interested in the subject? Why do you like the subject, and what areas within that field are you interested in? What are your professional goals, and how will the major prepare you to achieve them? Some schools might also specifically ask why you’re interested in the program at their school, so it’s good to do some research about the department. Be as specific as possible; you shouldn’t be able to substitute another school’s name into the essay and still have it be accurate, and if someone who knew you picked it off the street, they should be able to recognize it as yours.
