Skidmore cares for its students; Transfer-Skidmore/ Academic+Personal Goals

Hi everyone! Please help me with my supplement for my dream school! I will definitely return the favor :) Thanks so much!

In brief, why do you feel that Skidmore is a good match for your academic and personal goals? (700 characters)

During my college search, I called many schools and left more voicemails than I can count. Skidmore was the only school to reply. While a phone call may seem minute, it meant a lot to me. Through an interview and information sessions, I have come to see Skidmore as a school that truly cares for its students and their wellbeing. Seeing how well Skidmore treats me as a prospective student sets my hopes high for my experiences as an enrolled Skid. Most importantly, attending Skidmore means that I will be acknowledged as an individual by my peers and professors. The close relationships built in such a tight-knit community can lead to life-changing opportunities like internships or job offers.

Is this your full answer or just a part of it? You haven't touched on personal goals!

I realized that Skidmore truly cares for its students well-being.
Also be more specific about how you were convinced that it cares for its students. In what way? Highlight one or two features.

Hi Dumi- I have further edited it to answer the question! Let me know what you think! I appreciate any help!!

Coming from a small high school, I appreciate the personal connection that is built between students and their professors. In high school, I learned firsthand that these connections can open doors to opportunities like internships or job offers. After my life changing internship in high school, I am eager to pursue a new chapter in my life by experiencing my major hands on. As a lover of biology, I can't wait to take advantage of Skidmore's Career Development center and find a real-world application to my academics. Skidmore's research opportunities and dedication to their students both in and out of the classroom will impassion me to further develop myself as an individual.

"hands-on" instead of "hands on"

"Biology" instead of "biology"

Other than that, I think this is a solid answer and says a lot despite having to be so short!

Yep.... it sounds great and guess you have a strict word count to keep it so slim and trim :D
I only find this word a bit ...hmmmmmm ... how do I say? .... a bit odd :D


... I cannot get the idea why you used the word "major"... Other than that I find this is an excellent answer which is very well presented.

Wish you good luck with your application!

She's probably referring to the academic major she will pursue a degree for in college.

Maybe "studying my major hands-on" would be a little clearer?
