What caught your eye
Question 1 of 2 · Up to 150 words
What at Queens has caught your eye? This can include programs, opportunities, or experiences you can't wait to try.
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.
Your identity
Question 2 of 2 · Up to 200 words
What aspect of your identity do you find most meaningful? Why?
How to approach it
- Pick one moment and stay there. Readers remember a scene, not a summary.
- Spend at least a third of the essay on what you thought and how you changed.
- Read it out loud. If a line doesn’t sound like you, it isn’t done yet.
