Writing a good "Why Carleton" essay?

<p>How would I go about writing the supplement if I haven't visited/scene the campus?</p>

<p>Read the website and find classes you’d like to take and programs and ecs you’d participate in. See what about the school’s philosophy resonates with you. Look at U n I g O website and read what students like about Carleton.</p>

<p>I’d also suggest looking over the “Real People” and Blog section of the Admissions website, all handled by active/recent Carls to get a flavor of the student body and campus culture.</p>

<p>Don’t stress about the supplement. When I visited, the admissions rep said the entire supplement should only take you 20-30 minutes. My impression is it doesn’t need to be very formal, they just want a brief explanation of why you’re interested in Carleton!</p>
