[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How serious should it be? It talks about future plans? Are they referring to career goals?

Here's the prompt:

[i]At the University of Michigan, we are focused on developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future. In your essay, share with us how you are prepared to contribute to these goals. This could include the people, places, experiences, or aspirations that have shaped your journey and future plans.[/i] (Required for all applicants; 100 word minimum; 300 word maximum.)

When DD was writing supplementals last year, it was helpful to research each school’s motto/slogan to get a sense of what individual schools prioritized. For gu, it was “cura personalis”; for Cornell, it was “any person any study”. For Michigan, it’s “leaders and best”. So she tried to tailor her essays to demonstrate fit. When your DC graduates, how will their leadership make UM proud? Can be big or small but should be unique to DC. [/quote]

Agree with this. Did your kid get in?[/quote]
