<p>@Cayton bingo, exactly what @2016Candles said. </p>
<p>For instance one thing I strongly recommend doing is writing about why you want that major. e.g. “I am interested in political science because I believe politics are important to global stability…” Something like that isn’t really going to let the admissions counselor get to know you BUT it will give them a reason to admit you into the program. So that is what I am trying to say. It’s about getting them to “like” you more so than “know” you. </p>
