Why _____ ?

<p>I'll apply to Bates for Fall ´08.
The question is "Why, in particular, do you wish to attend Bates?"</p>

<p>Well I thought about talking about Bates' mission statement and comparing it to my values and goals. What do you guys think ? Can I also do that for other colleges I am applying with with "Why (insert college name here)?" ?</p>

<p>That should be fine. I suppose you could also talk about how it would affect your future/catalyse the achievement of dreams</p>

<p>i agree with ^</p>

<p>Well I just finished doing my Bates essay. Does anyone care to read it ?
I also have 3 other essays that can all be used for the Common App, and the extra curricular question. Haha, well I guess it is a lot, but I would really appreciate it if you guys could read all of them and give me your feedback. If you only want to read one, I'd like it to be the Bates essay.</p>

<p>If anyone does want to read them all then please give me your email. All the essays do not fit the CC private message box.</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>
