<p>For intellectual engaging essay asked in stanford supplement, is it advisable to tell how much you want to learn about your major? Pls give some advice cuz it’s really important. Thanks a million!!</p>
<p>why not try the Stanford forum?</p>
<p>Just pick a moment or experience in your life that was intellectually engaging to you. It doesn’t have to be related to your major. This is the type of question that you should have an answer or idea for before even finishing the prompt.</p>
<p>Unless it is interesting, do not talk about your major. The admissions people are not looking for anything. Just a write a good essay. There are no “hidden preferences”. As long as it does not sound cheesy or boring, you can do whatever you want. Relating to your intended major is potentially helpful, but not by much. Just write a good essay.</p>
