@TheAvidSeeker I wouldn’t think of “what they want”. Just let your mind and thoughts control what you write, and then after you have gotten your mindset for both prompts onto paper (or the screen technically), have someone knowledgeable edit it and give you feedback and go from there. UT is my top choice and has been for a while, so I was very eager to write these. I wrote both pretty quickly over last month but both were extremely long (even though ApplyTexas allows for 120 80-character lines of writing, which is a ton of writing). I worked with a former admissions counselor for WashU and she is helping me craft them into the best versions that they can be while also cutting them down so they are more brief and concise, I’m also having a current UT mechanical eng. student take a look at them, along with my parents of course. Good luck!
