<p>Please select one of the academic components of the X program and explain how you imagine that component will enhance your personal or academic growth?</p>

<p>Can anyone please tell what they mean by academic components?
I know it’s hard without knowing anything about the program but for example can free tuition count as one? or maybe small classrooms?
I have to write an essay about this and I’m confused! please help!</p>

<p>I assume academic component would not be free tuition (that doesn’t have much to do with the actual academics), but small classrooms, teaching style, professors, subjects taught, etc.</p>

<p>Yeah free tuition does not count in this case. It pertains more to things like the direction of studies, curriculum, professors, etc.</p>
