Brainstorming!
I need to write an extra essay for the Berkeley application to show them that I can sufficiently bullshit. Please help me brainstorm what to write! (I'm not that good at bullshitting, but with your help, they'll never know!)
Vital info: applying for Ph.D. program in Berkeley's MCB department.
Prompt:
In an essay, discuss how your personal background informs your decision to pursue a graduate degree. Please include any educational, familial, cultural, economic, or social experiences, challenges, or opportunities relevant to your academic journey; how you might contribute to social or cultural diversity within your chosen field; and/or how you might serve educationally underrepresented segments of society with your degree.
So, O Wise LJ Land, what should I write about? Any comments and ideas are appreciated!
Edit: This essay is in addition to my statement of purpose, which covers such topics as my academic goals and preparation for graduate study.
