From there, flesh out the link between yourself and the course. Think about the courses that you’ve taken in high school, jobs, internships, books you’ve read, online courses, and random research rabbit holes. HMC does not expect you to understand the entirety of the course that you write about, but there should be something that links you to the class. When working with TKG clients, we’ve found that it can be difficult to find reasons as to why you want to take certain STEM courses when the subject matter is high level and difficult. You should avoid picking introductory level courses because these are less likely to be specific to HMC. Write about two upper- level courses that you want to take, with reasons why.

This should follow your origin story from above. You do not have to tell a big story, in fact it is better to zoom in on a singular experience or chain of events that lead to the realization that you want to study Computer Science.ĭeclare your major in one sentence.

But this is one of our favorite questions, and you can ace it by following the formula that we’ll outline below. Harvey Mudd has two supplements: What influenced you to apply to Harvey Mudd College? What about the HMC curriculum and community appeals to you? Please limit your response to 500 words.Īnother why do you want to go here question, woohoo! Yes, you might be getting sick of writing these. Students at HMC can take classes at Pitzer, Claremont McKenna, Scripps, and Pomona.
