What does the admissions committee look for in a application?
While all parts of the application are crucial, the strength of an application to our graduate program is determined by an applicant’s writing sample and statement of purpose. These parts of the application are scrutinized by the entire admissions review committee. The writing sample should represent your very best work; the statement of purpose should be as clear as possible, describing your writing vividly, while also discussing your intellectual interests and career goals.
