Why Lynn
Everyone’s journey to college is a little different, and we’d love to hear about yours. What made you decide to apply to Lynn? Was it something about our programs, people, location, or campus life? Tell us what stood out to you — and how you think Lynn could be a good fit for your future.
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: one activity or job
Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences.
You can upload an activities résumé instead.
How to approach it
- Pick one activity, not your whole resume.
- Show one moment of what you actually did.
- Say why it matters to you, not only what it is.
