[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who have been there, done that, is it better to be “strategic” or genuine? A charming story about something you love, or a crafted essay that weaves together your academic interests with your personal values? [/quote] "Strategic" is code for writing about what you think they want to hear. Don’t do it. Keep it genuine. Remember it is only one part of an application, use it to communicate something about the applicant that can’t be gleaned from other areas of the essay (motivations, character, curiosity…).[/quote]
