How can I make my Why Brown essay less generic?

Your Why Brown is supposed to talk about your influences and such, no? Well, take that and go with the flow. I alluded to certain courses and juxtaposed them with subjects from the opposite end of the spectrum (but didn’t name them specifically). Basically, I tied in my academic interests slightly in my answer. Leave the strengths in the departments you reference for your other short answer. Unfortunately, the character limit is a real challenge, but try not to fluff up the admissions officer with over-the-top research that you’ve done, as that would be too much overkill. As much of a cliche as it sounds, just be you. If you want to read mine, let me know; I’ll PM is over to you.

By the way, the character limit is 1,000…not 500. =]
