UofT Essays - Explicitly Mention Clusters/Attributes?

[wasteland]

Hi everyone, 

 

Do we have to explicitly mention words from the clusters/attributes in our essays or can we use synonyms/talk about the general ideas? In other words, are they looking for buzzwords or thematic allusion to the clusters/attributes? I.e. talking about how I managed my time but not mentioning "time-management" or talking about accountability without mentioning "responsibility"

 

Thanks!

It should be obvious to the reader - whether you mention the clusters or not - what attributes the essay covers. Content is important, buzz words are not.

Is using specific names of mentors in our ABS essays okay? I just realized it may be problematic for anonymity, but I've already submitted my essays :/

I don't see any untoward issue for you.
