On the common app, I have noticed quite a few schools ask you to list up to 3 fields of Academic interests and then they ask you to write an essay on why these subjects interest you. My question is: do I have to write about all three areas of academic interest or focus on one (due to word limit)? Please help a kid out, thank you!
Mainly about the most preferred is fine, then a line or two about the other(s.) Just remember, if you’re applying to a top college, this is about the 4 years there, your enthusiasm for the study, (not, “I get my best grades in math, so I think a math major is a good idea,”) and not your future goals. (Not, “I want a bio major for med school.”)
