A. hey, i am applying for those two schools too! i am almost done with my essay, but im bummed that UM says to make it less than 400 words! It is a really great essay, but the only problem is that you may have focused too much on your great grandmother. This essay is supposed to portray who YOU are. I was contemplating on doing something similar to what you did, but my counselor said that it would be too cliche. Who knows, it may just work out! I know we only have until the 1st, so maybe you have another topic that you can use, but if not, it should be fine. good luck

A. Consider planning a scavenger or treasure hunt. You can design one yourself or you can purchase one. Check out for hunts that are professionally designed with cool graphics. They can all be customized for your location, time frame, etc. Many to choose from for different age groups. You can customize them so that you can incorporate a religious message or question at the different clue locations.
