Why Tufts? Essay-- The attitude; I take work seriously, always doing my best in everything

Tufts supplemental essay! Any help is appreciated!

Which aspects of Tufts' curriculum or undergraduate experience prompt your application? Why Tufts?" (Required length is 50-100 words)

To conclude the campus tour, our guide explained why she chose Tufts, "People here take their work seriously, but don't take themselves seriously." Tufts' outstanding academics and biopsychology program are factors, but ultimately the Tufts attitude motivated me to apply. I take work seriously, always doing my best in everything, but I certainly do not take myself seriously. I would love to have snowball fights on the President's Lawn, sled down the Hill, and would be proud to be a Jumbo for all that stands for: extraordinary intelligence and work ethic, love for Tufts, and an ability to enjoy life.

Cassie, don't use the words of encouragement or the reasons why another person would opt to attend Tufts. As much as possible develop your own original idea as to why you wish to attend. If it is the Tufts attitude that drew you to the university, then build your response around that idea. What specific attitude applies to you? If I were you, rather, my suggestion, is that you just keep the part about "Tufts outstanding academics" and its succeeding sentences as your response to the questions. It is solid enough to offer personal choices / facts about your decision to attend Tufts. It is original and does not rely on the sentiment of others for validity in response and relevance to the prompt.
