Most universities require of you an admissions essay to be included in your admissions package. Do you think it is necessary to write a essay that is personal to each and every school you apply to? Or do you believe that the essay should be more focused on you and your opportunities ahead, rather than what each individual university or college may offer?
Personally, I think that the admissions essay should be about you. This is the only real personal application you can use to profile yourself as a unique individual. They should be able to see from your style of writing, your experiences, wit and fluidity that you are someone to consider. Yes, you can include how the school will be a great environment for you to be a part of, but I think the essay itself should show them why they should want you on their campus.
