First, there will be an ELT in the College and Career Center in late January or early February with a code posted to join the application Google Classroom. Then, a Google Form will be posted asking questions about who you are as a person, kinda like a personality test with questions such as what animal you would be and what your Myers-Briggs personality type is.
Make sure you fill it out by the deadline, we do not want you to miss out because the form was not finished in time! Secondly, make sure to be yourself. Leading with authenticity makes it clear to us why you are fit for this program and what you need from us to succeed.

In this application, you should be unapologetically yourself. You can write about a variety of things from the years you spent doing a sport to how much you love spending time with your friends. Tell us about how these experiences shape you as a person and how they will help you flourish in this program. We just want to see who you are.
