Featured Supplemental Essay Prompt For Marist College Applicants:
Why do you think Marist is a good match for you? 250 Word Maximum.
Successful Supplemental Essay Example From Our Accepted Alumni Student:
From finding my calling in science, to supporting my peers, to helping my local community with non-profit and educational volunteering, I have dreamed of a college education uniting academics with empathy. As I explored Marist, I found the perfect community for me: one that blends intellectual exploration with giving back.
As a hopeful chemistry major at Marist, not only would I be able to follow my science curiosities, but I can also broaden my understanding through the Marist College Core. In Environmental Ethics, I would investigate the moral importance of the research I hope to conduct. Through Economics of Social Issues and Community Psychology, I can learn ways to promote equity across communities. As I delve deeper into chemistry, I hope to explore through Research Methods in Chemistry II and the Marist Science Research Program. I am interested in helping to create safer pharmaceuticals and a more environmentally-sustainable planet.
As a Peer Counselor within my high school since freshman year and a Counselor-Teacher at an academic enrichment camp last summer, I learned so much about how to support both peers and young students in diverse contexts. At Marist, I hope to continue supporting my peers through the Women’s Spirit Group and to provide academic and artistic empowerment through Community Based Learning (CBL) courses, volunteering with local schools like Warring Elementary, and more.
At Marist, not only would I be able to pursue my passion for chemistry–I would also join a community built on empathy, support, and creating a better future.
