For a “why [this college]” essay I talked about how driven the student body is and how I’ve personally learned the most from those I’ve worked collaboratively with, which is why I think I’d be able to maximize my achievement at this school and also contribute heavily to my peers’ education as well. Of course there were some specifics regarding the school in the essay, but this was the main point. Thoughts? Having some post-submit paranoia :l
If you’ve read the college culture correctly, it should be well received. If you haven’t, likely the decision will hinge more on your grades and scores than hitting a wrong note here (depending on the school) so I wouldn’t worry. This is an angst-filled time. Find something else to fill your time than obsessing over this.
