Essay Supplement

This is extremely random. But does anyone have any idea, the word cap for the "Why Boston University?" - supplement? I have just started writing and am worried that I am going to be over.

I wrote a paragraph about Boston and a paragraph about Elie Wiesel. They probably only check the ones written by people who've never visited, to see if they're seriously considering BU.

*there

You don't want to do that in the essay. Anyways, just jot something down, be honest, and don't worry about it.

No, confusing homonyms. The people reading your essay will look down on that.

just short and sweet. they don't really care "why BU" they just wanna see how serious you are about BU and figure out whether you'll actually come spend money there.
