<p>Hey guys, in my Why Vanderbilt essay, I have mentioned clubs, organizations, ,several internships, programs, etccc... but as I am writing my academic interest essay, I may have to basically restate some of the academic programs and internships in the essay to show why I want to go to Vanderbilt. Thus, do you think saying a program again in both essays a bad thing?</p>
<p>I don't necessarily think it is a bad thing as long as your two essays aren't too similar.</p>
<p>I recommend expressing in your academic interest essay, as strongly as you can, your interest in intellectual inquiry. Vanderbilt seeks students who will contribute and benefit from its vibrant learning environment. I suspect they ask this this question to distinguish between those students who seek education as opposed to those who merely seek a college experience and diploma.</p>
<p>As a graduate of both Vanderbilt and ND, I recommend Vanderbilt if you seek an excellent education.</p>
<p>im planning to go undecided, then wat do i write as academic interest.. i dont know what i want tahst y im goin undecided!! how do tehy expect me to have any particular academic interets! :(
anyways how are teh college papaers,magazines there.. i wirte a lot and wanma continue there too.. btw read the slant.. its hilarious!</p>
<p>Hasn't the deadline already passed? Or does this mean you are a 2011 applicant?</p>
<p>Even if you are undecided, you can still write about one or two things that you're "interested" in. You said you write alot and want to continue doing so; if you're passionate about it and have something interesting to say, you could talk about how you want to pursue writing, and (I don't know you, just speculating) maybe you're considering a field in journalism, communications, etc, but you're just not yet sure enough to declare a major. Then say you want to flesh out these interests and figure out where you want to go in life by utilizing vandy's excellent resources :)</p>
<p>ohh so i write career goals too along with academic interests...
wat sort of course could an animal-freak do at vandy or any other place other than become a vet? n how good is that course at vandy?</p>
