Why St. Johns

On the application, it's asking for 500 characters why I would want to go here. I'm unsure as to what to put - I don't want to give the standard answers based on some research from looking at their website. It's a local school with a good reputation. Does anyone have any ideas on how to answer this short but important question? Thanks.

I also don't want to just take a few things I find interesting about the schools from articles like the one on this website about the school. Very confused how to approach this, they asked it for a reason, and there's so little room. It's definitely a school I was considered if I got in, but I haven't done much research as it's just a good local school with a good reputation. Thanks.

I think the correct answer to that question on the app is "I want to attend St. John's because . . . shit, why do I want to attend St. John's?"

It's St. John's, not Yale asking for the extremely important Yale 250. Just regurgitate a few sentences on stuff you saw on the website that they look like they're proud of (clinics, concentrations, new library building, whatever) in a semi-coherent manner and make sure you don't mix up its/it's or their/there/they're and you're probably ahead of the curve.

OP, I basically did this ^^ and got in with less than stellar #s.

Telling someone not to go to St. John's ITE is pretty constructive.
