gracias for taking the time to help! anyone else?St.Remy wrote:The point of a why X essay is to show that you are genuinely interested in a school, that you've researched or visited or explored it as best you could. With that in mind, try to be a little more specific with your essay. You mention two professors and a clinic, but otherwise you haven't tailored the essay in any way.
