We’d like to learn more about you! This section allows you to share a personal reflection that goes beyond the information that is included in the rest of your application. You might write about an accomplishment/achievement, a lesson learned, a hardship or ways in which your background, identity or interests have influenced you. The sky’s the limit!· ~250 words
If you are an international applicant, we strongly encourage you to submit a writing sample with your application. If you have already provided a writing sample as part of your Common App, there is no need to provide an additional writing sample here. If you have not provided a writing sample as part of your Common App, please provide one in the space below. Your writing sample could be something you‘ve already written or you could write something new.
