<p>Okay so i have just written my essay about why i would I want to attend LS&A and Im a little unclear about the question. Here it is</p>
<p>"Describe the unique qualities that attract you to the specific undergraduate College or School to which you are applying at the University of Michigan. How would that curriculum support your interests?"</p>
<p>I began my essay saying that I would like to major in psychology and how the liberal arts study of LS&A and the psych program fits that perfectly but then went on to talk about how I have always felt a deep connection to u of m (attended Football games every weekend, have always wanted to attend, feel comfortable on campus, etc) Is all of that acceptable for this question? I feel like the question might be only asking about the academic side of things and I dont want to answer the question in a way which seems as if I wasnt paying attention to the actual question. I know this is my second thread about essays in the last few weeks but I am really worried about them. Thanks a lot everyone.</p>
<p>blackpen is right, if you are a strong candidate. However, if you are borderline then essays become crucial. And you do seem to have the right idea on your answer but from what I understand, it is better to put more of a focus on the academic part and then more or less briefly mention the other non-academic qualities. It does matter to answer that you want to attend because Michigan would obviously prefer admitting a person who is sure to attend over another person of similar quality that is iffy about attending.</p>
<p>well I think I am a good match being an in state student at a highly competitive high school. I am in the top 10% with a 3.93 unweighted average and a 30 on the act so hopefully you would agree with that. Thanks for the advice though I just want to make sure I am writing about the right thing</p>
<p>So without telling you how to write your essay, let me ask you this – what kind of community do you expect to be a part of at UMich? You might want to address the phenomenon of studying with and learning from a high-performing peer group. If you know of the work of specific professors in your intended discipline, you might also want to mention fit. And I’m sure that as an outstanding student, you’re eager to make a CONTRIBUTION to furthering the field of psychology through research, right? Isn’t that why you would choose a rigorous, well-ranking, research-oriented institution?</p>
<p>These are just hints at things I believe would be valid additions, if genuine, to your response. - Just for your consideration. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice! Im thinking im gonna work in something about the fact that I have always loved to ask questions and have a unwillingness to just accept things as they are and want to have a greater understanding of why people do things or something like that. Any other advice would be great!</p>
