I know there's already some discussion about this, but for teh first question, did you basically answer it as a "Why FSM?"
Isn't the first question about learning styles and how elements of their curriculum would support your learning style? For example, do you learn by attending lecture, by reading, by hands on activities, in a group setting vs independent study. I think it's best to at least connecting something about your learning style with what their curriculum has to offer, and then if you still have space state why FSM. That's my opinion.
