Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay102 Words“Grades don’t matter,” my freshman biology teacher said, “What matters is actually learning the material, rather than the grade you receive”. More than just mitochondria and chloroplasts, freshman biology taught me to learn in the pursuit of knowledge. At Brown, I see this pursuit of knowledge personified. The open curriculum and unconventional grading system foster a student body that is thirsty for knowledge and has a genuine interest in their pursuits. Why Brown? I want to go to college...Read more...Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school203 WordsWhy are you drawn to the area(s) of study you indicated earlier in this application? If you are “undecided" or not sure which Brown concentrations match your interests, consider describing more generally the academic topics or modes of thought that engage you currently.

My left hand flips the well-worn page of a tattered score while my right hand sways in four-four time. A cursory glance reveals a crescendo for the trumpet section. Signaling the imaginary orchestra, my left hand sweeps out in a wide arc to indicate the change in dynamics. A hasty scribble in the receding white space of the score marks the trumpet passage for further examination later. This marathon of a piece finally transitions into a full-on sprint as the...Read more...Additional Essay Details75 WordsWhen you write your essays make sure you give enough time to each college’s supplemental essays. For each college you apply to, you’ll probably have to write a couple essays (4ish?). Although I’m sure that the common app essay gets a great deal of weight in admissions, remember that the college specific essay questions are chosen by admissions offices and there are more of those questions than the generic common app essay.Read more...General Admissions Advice
