Hey guys, I'm working on my University of Washington application, and I'm kind of stuck on the short response section. How do I make my answers stand out? Any tips or strategies you used to write your UW short responses? Thanks in advance!
Hello, I'm glad you're seeking advice on writing your short responses for the University of Washington application. CollegeVine has an article that breaks down each UW prompt to help you write responses that stand out: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-washington-essays
To give an example, let's say the short response prompt asks about a challenge you've faced and how you overcame it. Instead of simply describing the issue and the solution, you could focus on the personal growth that resulted from it. For instance, you could discuss how dealing with prejudice as an LGBTQ+ student led you to start an inclusive club at your school, fostering a safe space for others and developing your leadership skills.
Best of luck with your UW application, and I hope these tips help you create strong short responses!
