HELP ME!
Hello Everyone.... Do you want to help me get into SPU?
I have no idea what to write, or freaking how to write my essays? And, since many of you have gone through this process already, I think that its only proper for you to share your wisdom. Sharing is caring. So, this is what I need to write about:
1. The application process is your opportunity to help us better understand your qualifications for admission to Seattle Pacific University. Please introduce yourself to us in a personal statement (minimum 300 words). You can also use this statement to explain any inconsistencies in your application.
First off, does is this mean that they want me to say "Hello, my name is ___. I am ___. I like doing ___. In 5 years I would like to be ____.? And secondly, what inconsistancies?
2. Seattle Pacific University is a Christian university, and while we don't require a profession of Christian faith for admission, we seek to admit students who will best succeed in and benefit from a Christian learning environment. Please describe your own religious beliefs and why you believe that SPU is a fit for you.
I know what to write for this one... I just dont know how to start it. I cant just jump right into things and say "I beleve in God. Yada yada yada!".
3. Seattle Pacific University has a clear purpose: to equip graduates who have the competence, character and courage to engage the culture and change the world. Please respond to this statement of SPU's purpose by choosing one of the following essay questions to answer.
Describe occasions when you have engaged the culture around you.
or
Describe your background and cultural influences that have shaped who you are today. (Cultural influences may include where you are from, your family, your ethnic background, your life experiences, etc.)
Okay what? lol
