With this prompt, Bryn Mawr is trying to learn something about you, your background, and your experiences that may not have come through in the rest of your application. They’re looking to admit thoughtful students with unique perspectives who will enrich the diversity of their campus cohort. So, as you approach this prompt, think about what has made you you. What experiences or aspects of your culture, identity, upbringing, or interests have shaped who you are today? Maybe you’re the child of Ukrainian immigrants and have used your bilingual skills to support refugee students at your school, leading you to an interest in international aid. Perhaps you grew up in a family that values debate over the dinner table and have learned to assiduously research and defend your opinions. Whatever personal characteristics you choose to highlight, make sure you tell a story about how you discovered this truth about yourself.
