Our families and communities often define us and our individual worlds.

Format for the essays
Content is important, but spelling, grammar and punctuation are also considered.

We recommend composing in advance, then copying and pasting into the application. Double-spacing, italics and other formatting will be lost, but this will not affect the evaluation of your application.

We’ve observed most students write a polished formal essay, yet submit a more casual short response. Give every part of the writing responses your best effort, presenting yourself in standard, formal English.

Proofread, proofread, proofread!

Tip: Write like it matters, not like you’re texting. This is an application for college, not a message to your friend.
