Application essay help please?

I'm trying to apply for a high school that I really want to go to, but the application requires an essay. They weren't very specific with it. It just says "Please explain why you would like to attend". If you have filled one of these out before, what are some things that would help me in order to get in? How long should I make it? Please help, I really want to get in. Thanks

    I think they have been specific - '.... explain why you would like to attend.'

    Just that - explain.

    Don't make it any longer than 1 page, they don't want your life history.

    If you can't come up with your own ideas for this question, than maybe you aren't worthy of entering. The only way you will have a legitimate chance is if you are genuine and don't sugarcoat your essay with useless jargon. Think about why you want to be successful.
