Answer by ErinFromOz
Typically, your cover letter should make a connection between the company and your character. I would completely cut out the paragraph on your education (they can find out about that by reading your resume.) Stick to talking about your character and say a few things you know about the university that make you a perfect fit for their culture. Good luck!
