Undergraduate / Can you write a good essay without using a personal anecdote? [4]

Anecdotes aren't essential for all essays, but based on your prompt, it would be a really good idea to use some anecdotes. As you may know, they add a crucial dimension to your personality and provide concrete (unless you lie) evidence for your essays. Think back, to why you enjoy pursuing that particular interest. If you are undecided, maybe you can describe some reasons why you haven't found "your calling" or maybe why you may love every subject.

Other than anecdotes, you can try simple generic descriptions,like "I wanted to pursue biomedical engineering because when my uncle had a pacemaker implanted into him, I became fascinated by the complex machinery involved in correcting irregular heart beats."

I hope this somewhat helps you and inspires you for your essay!
