UMICH essay supplement question

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>For the second supplemental question, in which it says "to describe the unique qualities that attract you to the specific undergraduate College or school..." did you just talk about the college or more specifically, the department or major? Obviously, no other college has the same major, so could you write about it? I feel that the question about the college is too broad. It would be different if I was applying with an undeclared major. But I know what I want to do, and I want to relay the qualities for the specific major I want to study.</p>

<p>Your thoughts?</p>

<p>You could (and probably should) talk about both. Answering why you want to attend a certain college should branch off into exactly what you hope to study at that college. I would hope you talk about your desired major.</p>

<p>I talked more about the specific department (Residential College) but more importantly, my essay was mostly about my interests.</p>

<p>^^ As it should be. Always relate it back to what you are interested in and what you want to pursue.</p>
