Undergraduate / Tell us why BU is a good fit for you and what specifically has led you to apply for admission [5]

It can't exceed 250 words. This is my rough draft (145 words):

BU's CGS program drew me in instantly. I have always been intrigued by a broad spectrum of topics, from U.S. government to Biology. By being a part of CGS, I would be able to satisfy my interests by leaning a wide variety of subjects, while at the same time I would have more time to decide what major I would like to pursue. The tightly-knit CGS community and an access to academic advisors would help guide me through the difficult process of choosing a field that I would want to work in for the rest of my life. When I come to a final decision of what my major is, I know my choice will be the right one because I would have had the time to think about it as well as the opportunity to take a variety of classes in different subject areas.

Any corrections or things I should change/add? Thanks :)

BU's CGS program drew me in instantly. I have always been especially intrigued by the fields of Political Science and Economics, and I am currently torn between which one to choose as my major. By being a part of CGS, I would be able to try each major on for size, as I would be given the opportunity to pursue various subjects in relation to both Political Science and Economics. The tightly-knit CGS community and access to academic advisors would help guide me through the difficult process of choosing a field that I would want to work in for the rest of my life. When I come to a final decision of what my major is, I know my choice will be the right one because I would have had the time to think about it as well as the opportunity to take a variety of classes in both of my areas of interest.
