What was wrong with the grammar?</p>
<p>Split infinitive. I changed it to "Consider the academic programs in the school/college you indicated above. How will you utilize them to explore further your intended major or field of interest?"</p>
<p>But I'm an ******* like that.</p>
<p>indiegal- not yet :) I'm RD.</p>
<p>My school college counselor was a big advocate of quality vs quantity... they approved a girl's 1200+ word common app essay. Don't sacrifice the quality of your essay for a silly word count. Be aware of how many words you are writing and eliminate unnecessary "however"s and such, but be sure you tell them what you have to to give them the best impression of who you are.</p>
