[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter wrote a Why Us? Essay for an application all about how she doesn’t know what she wants to do after college and how she thinks this particular school will allow her to explore her many, varied interests.

It’s actually pretty good but is it unwise to admit you don’t have a specific career goal or path in mind? This is for a SLAC.

Thanks. [/quote]

Have you been to an admissions session?  Some schools really pride themselves on helping students figure out that path.  I actually love that b/c I don't think a lot of 17/18 year olds know enough about themselves or potential careers to make an informed decision.  One school talked about how it's unusual to have just one major or at least one minor b/c they help you explore a lot of interests.  I wish my kid liked Tulane more b/c I think they are really good for students who aren't 100% when they start school.  We've mostly looked at big schools, but I am sure a lot of LACs are the same.
