I
would write my college essay on Describe a place or environment where you are
perfectly content. What does it mean or experience there, and why is it
meaningful to me?
I want to go to stanford because it is a ivy league school, USC because it has a good engineering program, Purdue because of its Landscape Architecture program, and Vanderbilt because it has good tuition and good mechanical engineering program.
