<p>TOPIC
<p>I don’t know how to deal specifically to the second part… I am applying to a school where I have to write 4 essays and they are VERY important part of the application. can someone advice me on answering this question. How do I begin?? may be some opening line? …any kind of inputs are welcomed.</p>
<p>If it were me, I would address that second part by saying "I feel really well-prepared in____________ (the sciences/language/research methods/…whatever it is). Talk a little about thorough sequence of courses you had, great teacher who really trained you in that field… For weaknesses, I might talk about an area I really wasn’t exposed to or don’t feel I yet have a thorough foundation and want to explore in college. Or maybe (if it’s true) that your school population was homogeneous (geographically/ethnically/socio-economic) and you feel that was a weakness in not exposing you to as many points of view as possible and you look forward to college for offering that.</p>
<p>Anything along those lines could work.</p>
