What most influenced your decision to apply to the University of Saint Joseph? Please respond in 100 words or less.

There are many reasons why I applied to the University of Saint Joseph. They have the nutrition and dietetics program that I want to be in. The campus has an amazing location, and it's a smaller school so you have a more personalized learning experience. I've visited the campus several times, and I don't want to leave; everyone there is friendly and welcoming. Some of my relatives have gone here and highly recommend it. I feel I would be a great addition to the school because I am a strong woman who wants to be a leader and help others.

-Avoid using word fillers such as your first sentence. Specially in a word limited statement such as this. The main focus of your statement should be on the nutrition and dietetics program since that is the reason you chose to attend USJ. Expand upon that criteria and explain how the smaller school size is something that can help your learning process. Briefly discuss your understanding of the social life at USJ and how you feel it will relate to your learning process. There is no need to mention your other relatives. This all about your personal reason and logical reasons for attending, nepotism aside. The admissions officer will find that out in your other app forms.
