I need help, really bad.

Ok, so I’m switching colleges and I need to write an essay for one of the colleges. They want to know how I’m going to enrich their community and what I’m going to gain.
Let me say one thing. I’m not special. I’m not spectacular, I’m just there. I don’t really bring anything to the table. I hate being around people. So I really don’t know what to write.

You are special. You ride horses and love the outdoors. Most people these days live in a box. With your hunting experience you have already been exposed to many facets of biology and it gives you a head start. You are a kind and giving person and just your smile alone will enrich the whole community…

You are going to gain the knowledge to help the community grow and become more prosperous. You will add love and laughter and a pretty smile. Everyone will be the better if they accept you into their university.

I would focus on what your looking to go to the school for. Add all the idealistic reasons and just personalize it basically give them back the bull from the literature they sent you he’ll I’d even grad a quote or two from the brochure

i’m the same way, i go to my classes and then i leave.
you’d be focusing on your studies, and would bring their national averages up by your hard work.

why are you switching colleges? do you like biology? or are you just going to college because you’re told to?

I’m switching colleges because the one I’m at is too far away from home (mainly from my horse actually…he’s kinda my baby) And the college I’m at is just not the right fit for me. And I love biology. And I’m applying to the colleges I like.

that’s good. talk about how you’ve got spunk and a love for the education you’re seeking. talk about how you’re seeking a college close to home because you want to be active in the community and provide a positive influence to other bio students. talk about what you like about the college programs and why it will boost your future and give you a better platform from which you can pursue a science career. just sound earnest and enthusiastic. they’ll love it.

Were you accepted or did you go ahead and transfer to the other college? I’m guessing you already wrote & submitted the essay. I’m a ph.d. graduate, that kind of thing is a walk in the park so I can help if you like. If you haven’t submitted it yet I could offer a review/critique of it for ya. I’ll open my email address to you.
