<p>@ithinkuknowme: it is true that “Diplomat” is used for F&M students. The essay can be treated as a “Why” essay, yet personally I think the topic can be even more open, since there are different ways to interpret and approach it. For example, you can write about what makes you interested in F&M, what you think an F&M student is like, what you imagine yourself doing at F&M if you get accepted, why going to F&M is so important to you, etc. Don’t limit yourself to the example I mention above; there are always more options. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no absolutely right or wrong way of doing it. The main purpose of the supplemental essay is to see the student’s personality and ability to write clearly.</p>
