UMich is requesting a followup continued interest supplement for students who were deferred. The supplement is as follows:
“In 250 words or less, describe how your personal educational goals connect to the University of Michigan’s mission and values.”
Unlike most of the school websites I have looked at, I have not been able to find lots of information on their “mission and values.” I did find a quote from the president, but it was pretty basic and sort of just described education in general.
I am predominantly looking for evidence of their values. I would prefer to write about how they show their values rather than what they say, so if you know of any programs or features of their education that is unique to UMich, I would like to write about that.
Also, would it be appropriate to write predominantly about the college within UMich (ie college of literature, science, and arts) or do I have to talk about the university as a whole?
