Supplemental essays

  1. What else, if anything, would you wish the Admissions Committee to know about your candidacy? (500 words)· ~500 words
  2. Consider the five following individual identity descriptors: creator, doer, explorer, change agent, seeker. Choose one of these five descriptors that best encapsulates your core identity. Provide 2-3 concrete examples of how the descriptor you chose reflects your identity. How might this core identity translate into action as a scholar-global citizen at Belmont University? And how do you hope to develop your core identity during college?
  3. Reflect on a recent transformative learning experience. The learning experience can be something directly related to the classes you have taken or to experiences you’ve had outside the classroom. The experience does not need to be academic in nature, but it should demonstrate how you were transformed in the process.
  4. Belmont’s Global Honors Program is a community of students who hunger for knowledge. What’s a topic you haven’t had an opportunity to learn about in high school that you are excited to learn about in college? Why do you yearn to know more about this particular topic?
