Villanova WŤF writing suppliment

So I was reading through the common app, seeing what colleges required writing supplements. Eventually I got to Villanova. At first it seemed pretty straight forward.

Please select and respond to ONE of the following questions in an essay of at least one typewritten page (double spaced), this essay should be distinct and different from the essay submitted through the Common Application.

“Seems good, shouldn’t take more than a hour and a half”

  1. Saint Augustine said, "Lord, let me know myself, let me know you." Describe a relationship that has helped you to know yourself better.

“Okay, I don’t really like that question, let’s see what the other one is.”

  1. If you attended Villanova, how would you make the noun "community" become a verb?

(ಠ_ಠ)

What am I even supposed to make of this? Any ideas? Villanova is a favorite of mine and I’m not a huge fan of the other essay choice.

Thanks!

The first is looking for some introspection. Take a look at the relationships you have in your life. (I would suggest, strongly, that you choose a positive relationship.) How has that person pushed yourself to know your strengths and weaknesses? How has that person helped you to like yourself better? To develop new interests?

The second is a more basic “Why are we the right fit for you?” kind of question. How will you be involved? WHY is Villanova your favorite?
