So I'm applying to a summer program and one of the questions on the application asks you to explain what you would be able to contribute to the program/why should you be chosen (I didn't have much trouble answering the essay question 'why would you want to attend this program'). I've been stuck on the for a bit, because the program I'm applying to is centered around STEM, but I haven't had any research experience or done any science fairs. I've taken AP science and math classes, but I don't think that would help me stand out, as I'm sure all other applicants have done so as well.
Would it be acceptable to write something like 'helping to create collaborative teamwork' or being a 'motivated learner'? I know it's incredibly cheesy and awfully unconvincing but it's honestly all I can think of. How could I write something that stands out more?
Please comment advice about answering this prompt! Thank you!!
