Thoughts on adding a "Why School X" essay as supplemental information?

Sarah889Sarah889 Alum Member

Hi All,

I really want to add another element of my personality/background to one of my applications. I want the admissions officers to know that their school is genuinely at the top of my list and to express the reasons why, but their application does not offer to many opportunities for expression (meaning they don't offer optional essays or ask for a "Why School X" reason). I vaguely mention in my personal statement why this school appeals to me, but it barely scratches the surface. I'm hesitant to add a Why School X essay as "supplemental information" because that is typically intended for addenda/diversity statements. What do you all think?

Thanks in advance!
