Why Moravian
Question 1 of 3 · Up to 250 words

How to approach it
- Name things you could only find at this college: a class, a professor, a program, a tradition.

Discuss your reasons for pursuing your major/program?
How to approach it
- Start with the moment the interest began.
- Show what you’ve already done about it: a class, a project, a book, a job.
- Say where you want to take it, even if you’re not sure yet.
Your college decision
Question 3 of 3 · 10–500 words
What are some of the most important factors in your college decision process?
How to approach it
- Every word counts. Cut warm-up phrases like “I believe that”.
- Specific beats impressive: a real song, a real food, a real place.
- It’s fine to be funny if that’s you.
