We take every aspect of your personal profile into consideration when calculating your admissions chances.
The personal statement is your opportunity to communicate directly with the Admissions Committee. Applicants are welcome to submit anything that helps tell their story, being mindful and thoughtful about the quantity and quality of information shared. Share information not included elsewhere in your application. (If a student has not done the Common App Essay, this is an alternative personal statement. However, both the Common App Essay and this Personal Statement are optional).
If you could change anything in the world, what would it be? Explain why and how you would change it.
In lieu of an essay or personal statement, we ask interested international applicants to answer a short answer question.
Answering the following question is required. Your answer may increase the likelihood that you are given special consideration due to extenuating circumstances. The Admissions Committee reviews responses for quality rather than length. However, the most effective responses are under 1,500 characters.
Describe an experience where you had to adapt to a new environment (i.e. a different culture, situation, or way of thinking).
