Hi :) the prompt is " In five or six sentences, tell us how you first became interested in BU and what steps you have taken to learn more about us." with only 750 characters. I have 802.
As I curiously flipped through the "Fiske Guide to Colleges 2008," the phrases "funky, artsy, youth-oriented urban setting" grabbed my attention. Without hesitation, I vigorously read the review, in between paragraphs asking myself, "Is it possible this school actually exists?" Instantly, I researched more about BU and Boston in general, and discovered that a friend's godfather had previously attended. His words of wisdom; bring a parka for the brutal winters, save your cookies or get a scholarship, and try to get Professor Caine for Psychology. I visited BU this past September. (?) Although my accidental discovery of Boston University was through a popular college guide, the sense of relief I feel when I realize I have found my first choice school completely outweighs that fact.
Anyway, thats it. I want to change the " I visited BU..." it sounds so boring the way I wrote it. Feel free to give any critisism! :D
