Checked against uwyo.edu and the Common App application on October 17, 2026
What you write: One or two sentences on why you are applying.
Why UW
Up to 250 words
In 1-2 sentences, please tell us why you are applying to UW.
The box allows up to 250 words, but Wyoming asks for one or two sentences.
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.
