Drexel University 2023-24 Application Essay Question Explanations 

The Requirements: 1 essay of 250 words

Drexel is committed to preparing each new generation of students to become productive, professional and civic-minded members of the community while continuing to focus on how we can contribute to solving some of society’s greatest challenges.  What do you view as a challenge facing society that you would like to contribute to solving? How would a Drexel education aid you in taking the first step toward a solution? (250 words or less)

This is your opportunity to not only show admissions that you’re dialed in and paying attention to what’s going on in society, but also demonstrate your creativity and vision. Take a little time to brainstorm issues that you consider some of society’s greatest challenges. Once you’ve identified one that you’d like to write about, think about the role you see yourself playing in addressing or solving it. Maybe you’re pursuing a major in Environmental Sciences because you hope to help combat global warming and prevent associated climate disasters. Or, perhaps, you’re pursuing a major in Criminology and Justice Studies because you hope to play a role in dismantling the prison industrial complex. Remember that Drexel wants to know how their education will aid you in addressing this societal challenge, so don’t skimp on how your Drexel experience (courses, professors, clubs) will set you up for success.
