Why Spring Hill
Question 1 of 2 · Up to 250 words
Why are you interested in Spring Hill College?
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: academic awards
Question 2 of 2 · Up to 400 words · Optional
Please tell us about any academic awards you have received while in high school.
How to approach it
- Each item should say something about you that the rest of the application doesn’t.
- Mix serious and small. A list of only big ideals reads like a poster.
- Use the exact format asked for. Don’t write sentences if it wants a list.
