<p>what did you write about?</p>
<p>I wrote about MMSS and the debate program, why I was interested in them, and how they related to my personality. Pick your favorite parts of the school and explain why those are attractive to you.</p>
<p>I applied as a theatre major. And there are a few places in the country you’d want to go as a thatre major, Northwestern being one of them. So obviously I wrote about that.</p>
<p>I wrote about how all I asked for the holidays from friends and family was a plane ticket to visit the school, but played it out so it doesn’t sound kiss ass at all. Then I went on to say how specific things about Wein. that other schools hadn’t stated, were why I rejected their offers for information packets, and emails; but why I had clamored for more about NU. Explained specific research they were doing and how this coincided with my internships I had done, finished with a stereotypical “why I love this school/cool metaphor to explain it” but I made sure to make the stereotype VERY good and original.</p>
<p>had a Medill student edit it herself, and voil</p>
