<p>I am writing a paper for the UC department requirements and there is that question again... What do you hope to Contribute to the school? What i am wondering is....Do they expect me to write What i hope to contribute during school, involving myself in activities. Or, do they want information on me doing professional work and REPRESENTING THE SCHOOL.</p>
<p>I know its a stupid question, but please give me a response.</p>
<p>I think it could be either of the above. If you were them, what do you think they would find the most valuable about having you there? </p>
<p>eg: you are clearly a science genius (make sure that's for sure) and you want to do incredible research with a well known researcher there.</p>
<p>or: you are planning on majoring in Bio and being pre-med. But in your spare time you do stand up comedy. You are a very funny guy. Pre-meds need some humor in their life. You will provide it.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter WHAT, just that its useful and it's clear you can likely provide it.</p>
<p>Thanks, you exceeded in answer my question!!</p>
