Hey everyone! I'm applying to WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) and am curious about the supplemental essay. Can anyone offer some tips or advice on how to approach it in a way that'll make me stand out?
Hello! It's great that you're applying to WPI - their project-based curriculum is quite unique. When it comes to WPI's supplemental essay, I'd suggest checking out CollegeVine's blog post on how to write a response that showcases your strengths as a student and a person: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-worcester-polytechnic-institute-essays.
If you start writing and aren't sure if your approach is working, consider taking advantage of CollegeVine's free peer essay review service, or submitting your essay for a paid review by an expert college admissions advisor. Sometimes, that second set of more objective eyes is just the thing that will take your response from good to great.
Remember to stay true to your own experiences and voice. Best of luck with your application to WPI!
