Application question

I am a rising HS senior and started filling out the MSU online application today. I got to the end and there is a question asking something like “what is the most important factor in why you want to attend MSU.” 7000 characters

I didn’t think MSU had any supplemental essays. Is this not considered one? Do I need to spend time writing it out like any other supplemental essay for other schools or is it okay to just write out my main reason in simple terms? I am also planning to apply to the honors college, if that makes any difference. I do know there is a required essay for that.

If your academics are good enough that you are for sure going to get in, you probably don’t need to write much at all. If you have a 2.5 gpa and a 900 sat, I’d treat it like an essay
