Uni Stuff > Australian National University

So i went to fill in the uas application form and there's not nearly enough room

<< < (4/5) > >>

What do I put in for the 1000 word one?  It says "Supplementary Information: Include any reasons you may have for selecting a particular Student Residence such as family connections. Comments in this field may affect the outcome of your application (1000 characters)".  Do I just talk about why I selected the college, or do I put in stuff about myself too?

^ I guess so, I don't recall that question being on the application when I did it. But yeah, I suppose it's a good idea to do your research for that question. If you visited the hall/college, you could write about what you liked about it/the atmosphere/etc. People reading the application are likely to believe any positive things you say about the hall/college.

wow yea, posting a bit late, but currently doing the application and the space is a real problem... not sure what to include and what to leave out

sorry double post, but are you sure its a good idea to suck up to one specific college/say what you like about it. Isn't it true that if your first preference rejects you, other colleges will read your application and consider you? If so I don't think they'll look to fondly to you going on about what you love about another college?

But then again it does say "reasons you may have for selecting a particular Student Residence "

I'm not too sure what to write. Bit annoying that both the other sections where I have a lot to write are limited to 100 and 150 characters, but the 3rd one has a 1000 character limit and I've got nothing...lol

Eriny:
^ Oh, you're right. I think you should email UAS asking them to clarify.
