Probably no part of a college application is more talked about, misunderstood or feared than the form you are about to complete. For this reason we’d like to advise you of the following.

First, we are interested in the total person (not just the classroom part of you), and so we want to learn how you spend your time when you are out of school.

Second, we’d like to know about any exceptional skills or experience you have, both in and out of class. (We realize that the way you spend your time may be either limited or enhanced by the opportunities available, the need to work or frequent family moves.)

(continue)(continue)

However you use your time, we are more interested in the depth of your commitment and achievement than in the sheer quantity of your activities.

We appreciate candor rather than false modesty or bragging. Remember that the information you provide is only part of the information we will use to evaluate your application. So, be yourself and complete this form carefully and honestly.
