<p>Hi: I'm kind of confused by this short answer (250 words) for one of my apps... please help!</p>
<p>Is the prompt below asking for students richly diverse in cultural backgrounds, **cultural **experiences, and **cultural **viewpoints?</p>
<p>OR </p>
<p>are they asking for students richly diverse in viewpoints, diverse in experiences, and diverse in cultural backgrounds?</p>
<p>as in are "viewpoints" and "experiences" supposed to be "culturally diverse"????</p>
<p>Prompt: The University of __________ seeks to create a community of students richly diverse in cultural backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. How would you contribute to this community?</p>
<p>it's saying that as a whole the university wants to create a community richly diverse in cultural backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. So when they ask "How would you contribute to this community?", they're looking for how you are unique and how you stand out from the rest of the applicants based on how your culture has influenced you.</p>
<p>check it out..i dont think its specifically cultural, although if you are from a different culture that would be a good thing to discuss.</p>
<p>they want to know how you would contribute to the community as a result of 1.cultural backgrounds, 2. experiences (not necessarily cultural), or 3. viewpoints (again not necessarily cultural.).</p>
<p>Its really a very open topic. Just write about something that makes you stand out from other prospective candidates.</p>
