Why Kutztown
What most influenced your decision to apply to Kutztown University?
How to approach it
- Name things you could only find at this college: a class, a professor, a program, a tradition.
- Tie every detail to something true about you.
- Swap test: if another college’s name fits your sentence, it’s too general.
Optional: context for your application
You are welcome to use this space to provide details on information, qualifications, and circumstances not reflected on your application. This can include a gap in educational history, context on a failed or withdrawn course, or information on how your extracurricular activities enhanced your high school experience.
How to approach it
- Answer the exact question asked, in the first few lines.
- Use one real example instead of three general ones.
- Read it out loud before you submit.
