Editor's notes
- Interest counts as much as grades here. The CDS rates level of applicant's interest very important, and the admissions page says a visit with an interview carries special weight. Book one, and answer if they call or email; Augustana says it may hold your decision while it tries to reach you.
- You can send a graded paper instead of an essay. If you have a strong analytical paper with a good grade on it, that may show more than a rushed personal statement, but the CDS rates the essay important, so whichever you send should be your best writing.
