Featured Supplemental Essay Prompt For Brandeis University Applicants:
Why Brandeis? 250 Word Maximum.
Successful Supplemental Essay Example From Our Accepted Alumni Student:
With a voracious curiosity for medicine and a passion for song, I have often chased my dreams as an individual. I studied cell biology flashcards at the lamplight of my bedroom. I played the piano, driven by the hours I dedicated.
But my perspective that I only had power as an individual changed as I grew older. My South Indian classical singing group meshed and merged, and we found ourselves jamming out. Through study groups and Science Club endeavors, I realized that science was less about individual knowledge and more about collaboration and harmonizing perspectives. I walked through hospital floors during volunteering, a fast-paced environment that would fall apart without unity. Tasks were passed to me by nurses to keep everything moving smoothly, and to save as many lives as we could.
Brandeis is the only school where I felt that same sense of unity, collaboration, and, most notably, family. During my visit, I met students passionate about their studies but also the friends and teams they work with. I speak with Brandeis alum, their voices resonating the same message of their love for the community. I dream to delve into new ideas with other students and faculty, through music and medicine, cultural diversity and mathematics, and Brandeis HSSP, an interdisciplinary program that encapsulates the unity needed in the world today.
At Brandeis, I know that I need not be a piano prodigy, a math genius. At Brandeis, with every other student, I can be me—and we can be us.
