We also carefully consider counselor and teacher recommendations. Students who are comfortable interacting with teachers and who have developed important academic relationships will stand out. Standardized test scores are only a small part of our admission process, and are not as important as your transcript, essays and recommendations. We do not have a page requirement for our essays. The average length of each essay is one to two pages.
Many students write more or less.
Just how much you need to write in order to communicate your ideas is up to you. Essay C is an academic paper based on research or analysis that provides the admission committee an example of the level of academic work you are doing and how it is evaluated. Your teacher's marks should be on the paper. If you have not saved a graded paper, ask your teacher to rewrite your grade and or comments on a clean copy. If you have been out of high school or college for a number of years, we will ask that you write a brief analytical paper.
