for that part, i just kind of gave more broad objectives like "i'd like to do courses in japanese literature/english literature because waseda balahalhaghaf" vs specific courses because like you said, their choices change like the weather these days...
yeah, we had to do the same picking out specific courses for the NUS internal selection, but the waseda essay itself doesn't need to be like "I want to take JAPANESE LEGAL SYSTEMS", it can be general and stuff. I checked with one of my friends who made it into the program a year back, and his essay was pretty much "I'd like to take business courses because that would tie in with my major back in the US" kind of thing.
oh no. please don't tell me they're not offering that creative writing course!!! i should go and check the online catalog now!!!
the whole application process made me neurotic and i'm still occasionally being paranoid about it even though i submitted to the coordinator already. hahahaa
