We require an essay for Freshman applicants. Since each applicant is considered individually, the essay provides the opportunity to present information that may assist the Admission Committee as it evaluates the application for admission. Essay topics and instructions are found on page 5 of the Common Application.
We require the secondary school report, also known as School Report, which is a 2-page document completed by the high school guidance counselor and can be found on the Common Application Forms Page. It is typically submitted along with the applicant's high school transcript and a school profile.
We require at least one letter of recommendation from a teacher on the Teacher Evaluation form. This form can be completed online through Common Application website or mailed to:
