“Describe the unique qualities that attract you to the specific undergraduate College or School to which you are applying at the University of Michigan. How would that curriculum support your interests?”

I’m really not sure what to say…I’m an in-state prospective transfer student and I’d like to attend the University of Michigan to study Economics and Math/Statistics. I suppose everyone has trouble with this essay because it’s difficult to differentiate between schools in a way that doesn’t ultimately come off as perfunctory. I guess I’m looking for more perspective on the University of Michigan and also some perspective on what they would like me to say. Do they want to hear more about their school and why I want to go there, or why I want to do what I want to do?
