Dear Sir,
One thing that I have learnt from the
application process last year is that the Why Major essay is one of the
most important aspects of applying to colleges. It is absolutely crucial
to subtly let the universities know what you're passionate about
without actually SHOWING your passion.
I
remember that while writing my Why Major last year, I struggled a great
deal in finding good research papers on Geology, which was my major of
choice. I was digging through my bookmarks on my Browser today and found
a link where you can get thousands of research papers from MIT archives
just by searching with a key word. It helped me shape my Why Major
essay, and also allowed me to learn a great deal about Geology - not
only as a science but also its socio-economic impacts.
Please
find the link below and share it with your current students who may be
struggling to find significant research papers on their subject of
interest. This is also an excellent way to see how research papers are
constructed - which is important knowledge we lacked at the beginning of
our research paper-writing endeavors.
