Hi to all fellow Auburn applicants for the c/o 2016!
I was working on Auburn's supplemental (so blessedly short!), but had a question about their essay. I've drafted a 400 word, 2 paragraph essay about why I would like to attend Auburn. But I'm not sure how long they are expecting it to be (just said it should be in paragraph form). I don't want to write too little and make me seem uneager but at the same time, I don't want to make it superfluous.
Also, how personal is everyone getting with their essay? My draft is more about how awesome the school is than about how awesome I am and why they should accept me (didn't I already do that in my PS?). I'm not sure how to tie myself into my essay, if that makes any sense. Like I'm raving about the school, and I know I should tell them why I would be a good fit for their school based on what I've said, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it without going: you have this, I like this, accept me!
Thoughts? Suggestions? Anyone willing to read what I have so far?
Thanks <3
