josomo 1 / - Sep 28, 2011 #1I have a general idea of what I want to do in the essay. I want to describe what I am really passionate about and then connect it with GW, but I can't seem to know how to do that without giving out my life story. Help, please!
danielladelucia 4 / 17 Sep 29, 2011 #2I'm working on applications too. The best thing to do is research the university, and add facts into your essay that make the reader know that your reallyyyyy interested in their school. For example, I want to attend UCF because of it's brand new college of medicine, 166,000 dollars worth of research money and breakthrough scholarships given to an entire class.
trishhha 8 / 23 Sep 29, 2011 #3I had a similar problem with an essay I was writing for UVA because I wanted to incorporate the school into it. Basically, if you know what field and plan of action you want to take in that school, find a way to fit it in with your lifestyle and connect it to why you want to attend GWU. Take a look at my " 'Dehumanized' challanged me" essay for UVA if you want a general idea of what I mean. Goodluck :)
