UNC Supplemental Essay Qs

“You were just invited to speak at the White House. Write your speech”

To me, “White house” just serves as your platform and lends credibility and allows your message to be heard. So basically its asking what is something important to you that you want to share… Doesn’t have to be political in nature. How did you guys interpret this prompt?

I agree, by no means does it have to be political in nature. You could talk about your latest scientific discovery, how you started an awesome charity, or really anything in my opinion. Good Luck!

I took this as getting to be creative! I pretended like I had just become the secretary of education and the CEO of Collegeboard. I’m really into neuroscience, intelligence, psychometrics etc. So I took it as an opportunity to show the changes I would make, my future goals, etc all while pretending to be some hotshot lol.
