Editor's notes
- Treat the essay as a real part of your file. Dominican requires it, and the CDS rates it important, above test scores and recommendations.
- Apply by Nov. 15 for priority merit consideration. Decisions start rolling out Oct. 15, so an early application gets you an answer early too.
