<p>Are they looking for anything specific or just straight up why?</p>
<p>I have not read the supplemental essay question, but since I already have a son in college, maybe I can help you out. </p>
<p>Usually a college wants to know why you are applying to their school. What is it about WPI specifically that made you want to apply and attend that school? Usually if you are specific in your answer, that means you know enough about the school and how you can fit in there and help to make a difference once you are there.</p>
<p>Hope that answers your question…</p>
