About this livestream
The academic interest essay is one of the most common supplemental essays you’ll come across in the admissions process. This prompt is the one where the Admissions Committee seeks to learn more about your intellectual passions, deciphering what areas of academia most fascinate you and why.
Join Yesh as he helps you figure out how to explain why you chose the intended major that you did in a way that will appeal to admissions officers. He’ll be covering a sample essay and using it to provide his expert advice on how to tackle this type of prompt.
Once the presentation is complete, Yesh will open up the floor for a Q&A session to answer any questions you may have about academic interest-themed essays.
