@FireBlock1. It seems students get tripped up on this basic question. I also wouldn’t write an important essay to “get away” with anything. If you don’t take it seriously they won’t either. The essay is important to Michigan.

So… If I walked up to you and asked “why do you want to go to Michigan” what would you tell me?

But one line doesn’t make an essay, correct?

Do you know what the Michigan mission statement is? Look it up. Do you know what the words to the Michigan fight song means? Look it up. Are these qualities that speak to you? Did you actually look up your major on their website? Did you look up or talk with or email a professor or department or class offerings that you liked? That’s called researching the school and a good term to use in an essay.

The idea of any essay is to make you, personal, unique and interesting and throw in some passion for something. Some will tell you to “show your essay” not just tell (look it up).

Again, the essay is about you not about how great Michigan is. They already know that. Can you imagine how many essays read like “I see myself standing in the Diag on central campus” like thousands right? Don’t do that… Lol…

If you state what your thinking about doing many here can get you in the right direction.
