Optional Supplements

In addition to the above essay, we are offering students the opportunity to submit 3 supplemental materials:
-Peer recommendation: A peer recommendation can be written by anyone who you consider a peer and should not be someone who is in a supervisory or oversight role in your life. A few examples are a classmate, a teammate, a friend, a coworker. This helps us to get a better understanding of your interests and character from another perspective.
-Teacher recommendation: A teacher recommendation is a written evaluation expressing the academic and personal characteristics of the applicant, as demonstrated in the classroom.
-Video response: Help us get to know you in 2 minutes or less by answering a few questions about who you are.

Please note that these are all optional.
