[quote=Anonymous]At research universities, they often admit to a particular school and consider your intended major, thus the Why Major? type of supplemental essay may be helpful in their evaluation. In contrast, SLACs don't require declaration of major often until sophomore year, and the whole idea of a SLAC is exploration of many different subject areas, so perhaps they are less concerned about intended major and thus don't need a special essay on it. As for Why Us? supplementals, they ask you to list your contacts with the school; you can list up to 10 contacts and so it's easy for them to see if the applicant is highly interested in their school without a Why Us? essay. Finally, perhaps they just consider the 650 word Common App personal statement a sufficient essay, and don't need more. [/quote]
