<p>So I know you're not allowed to give the location as a reason to why you want to attend Emory, but can you mention the city of Atlanta? Like I'm not saying that Atlanta is WHY I want to attend Emory, I'm just briefly mentioning the city.</p>
<p>I'm just finding it a bit difficult to write the essay, I feel like the only think you can write about is the academics/what program you're going to be studying.</p>
<p>Atlanta is an okay reason, but not a really good one. A specific academic department is a much better subject. Better yet, talk about some kind of RESEARCH. They just love that word.</p>
<p>Which department are you interested in?</p>
<p>Economics. As of right now, the beginning of my essay is about diversity, and then I talk about their economics program and how I’m looking forward to all the research opportunities I’ll have there. Then I go on to talk about how I can do things like volunteer at the Habitat for Humanity (in Atlanta) or even start my own running club, and why I would fit in at the university.</p>
<p>I don’t know if that’s what they’re looking for or what…?</p>
<p>Pretty much, what I want to know is whether or not what I typed above fits into their
prompt: ** Many students decide to apply to Emory College based on our size, location, reputation, and yes, the weather. Besides these valid reasons for making Emory College a possible college choice, why is Emory College a particularly good match for you?**</p>
<p>Understand that this a form of the “fit” question. Presumably you decided you are a good fit for Emory, so just tell them how and why you came to that decision.</p>
<p>Maybe look at what intangibles Emory has that you want to experience if you go to Emory. Examples could be traditions, etc.</p>
