Soo, I'm about to send in my application but I have a quick question.

Would I say: I would make a great addition to the Kansas City University...
Or : I would make a great addition to Kansas City University....

 

[MJB]

Leave out "the".

Is this a secondary?

I agree.

 

[Buckeye(OH)]

and au contraire: I would add the the in, just don't capitalize it.

It really all depends on how you finish it...

You wouldn't want to say "I would make a great addition to the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences."


You might, however, say "I would make a great addition to the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences Class of 2011."



Good luck...I'm hoping to be filling out a secondary for them in about mid-October.

Didn't think about that, but you are correct, it matters how you finish it.
