<p>Rose-Hulman and some other schools do not have a specific essay requirement. The essay is optional, but I want to write one. Would an essay of why I want to study engineering in general be better than why I want to go to the school be stronger? Would the latter make me sound like a suck up? It also had no suggestions on the length; would asymptotically approaching 1,000 words too much? Most applications want around 500 words.</p>

<p>I would keep it less than 500, and I would write on why you want to be an engineer and why you think Rose-Hulman would be make a good fit.</p>
