Why you will do well at Stevenson
15–100 words
Why do you feel you will do well at Stevenson University? What do you think you can contribute to the Stevenson community?

How to approach it

- Tie every detail to something true about you.
- Swap test: if another college’s name fits your sentence, it’s too general.
