The essay is your opportunity to tell us something about yourself, your chance to show your individuality. Ask your counselor to return the report to the Office of Admission and to enclose a complete transcript, including senior courses. The written information your counselor provides will be kept in the strictest confidence. A second reference may come from a teacher in any subject. The teachers you choose should know you well and be able to comment on your academic ability, achievements and motivation.
References are confidential.
If you sit for either test more than once, results of all test dates will be included in your file. Submitting the results of the College Board's Achievement tests are optional. Many candidates elect to sit for these tests, and the Admissions Committee often finds the results helpful in evaluating the quality of a student's preparation in certain subjects. In cases where payment of the fee imposes an extraordinary burden on a family, a fee waiver may be requested. We strongly encourage you to plan a visit to the University of Dubuque.
