Essays: Common App was about last summer when I planned a week-long field studies trip to Ohio parks for high school students, UNC supplement was a bit unconventional…it began with me out in the field catching a snake for a science project and morphed into my aspirations for my own zoo in the future. Idk, it worked! I’m a decent writer, both were good essays.
Really, I’d try to show them that you are ABSOLUTELY dedicated to one area. Do you have enthusiasm or passion for one particular subject? If you do, definitely emphasize that. They also gave me a lot of financial aid, so it is affordable and I will be attending!
