@Knowsstuff
I appreciate the reply. I totally agree with what you’re saying. I’ve done a ton of research as to why I want to go to the school itself. The draft of the essay I wrote is probably one of the most passionate pieces I’ve written in years. However, I’m worried because my essay doesn’t answer the question completely.

I wrote mostly about why I want to go to U of M. I have had a very close relationship with the school over my lifetime (I lived right next to campus for over 18 years), which allowed me to write about it in a very unique and interesting way. But the prompt specifically asks why the particular program, not Michigan as a whole. I already wrote why I want to pursue my intended major in my main essay, and I’m at a bust as to what more I can say besides “I said I wanted to do this in essay 1. Michigan has a program where I can do this.” I could pursue my program at a lot of schools, but as I said, it’s Michigan, not the specifics of the program that drives me towards the school. Furthermore, I probably won’t be able to visit the campus in the near future, so meeting professors and sitting in on classes isn’t an option. Again, thanks for the reply. You answered my previous question amazingly as well.
