<p>Hey guys. I am applying to U mich. I was wondering how much they value their supplements and whether the one I have right now is off topic. All helps is appreciated. Here it is: </p>
<p>Essay #2 (Required for all applicants. 500 words maximum) Describe the unique qualities that attract you to the specific undergraduate College or School (including preferred admission and dual degree programs) to which you are applying at the University of Michigan. How would that curriculum support your interests?</p>
<p>My dream school was one that could support me on three basic levels: academics, athletics, and arts. My intrinsic philosophy was that one must be a renaissance man, opportunistic in an array of fields to truly experience life to its fullest, and I have replicated such by actively participating in all three at a high school level. I crave a school that can provide this all-round education supported by a plethora of experiences and entertainments that would sustain my interest in academics. That school that I have envisioned is University of Michigan. University of Michigan is the place to be for any major. I am interested in medicine, but also desire a background in business or engineering. It so happens that U Mich can handle any three of my career interests by providing a solid basis at the undergraduate level and then furthering my horizons with their prestigious graduate Schools of Medicine, Business, and Engineering. Everyone wants a school that provides a world-class education, and I do not deny that I am in the same boat; however U Mich is unique in the sense that it provides a higher standard of education (as a top 10 public school in the nation), along with a diverse and enjoyable college experience. With well-funded programs in the arts and athletics (Go Wolverines!), the University of Michigan serves as the epitome of opportunity. Attending such a well-rounded school would allow me to properly enlighten myself, while also enjoying the fruits, my very passions that I intend on pursuing thru life. I love biology, football, track and field, break dancing, playing my clarinet in any other school such passion would be suppressed in the face of plain education, but in U Mich I have the ability to pursue hobbies and receive the education I want to be successful in the medical field. I value these small liberties and they are what I will take out of my college experience. I want more than just an education; I want an experience. I want to tell my kids better stories than being in a introverted chess club in college; I want to be part of a social chain, cheer for my team among a sea of my peers, and study multiple subjects at a higher level. These small freedoms serve as stress relievers in my tough academic pursuits and allow me to be myself. These freedoms are what I need to achieve my goals in the future. These freedoms are what attract me to the University of Michigan: the option to experience all fields, chance to be properly educated, opportunity to pursue my passion. These modest objectives and details may seem trivial to others in an academic pathway, but they mean a lot to me, to my ideology for what I want to take out of college and life, and, from my perspective, to the University of Michigan. So when anyone asks Why University of Michigan? I always respond, Where else?</p>
