Editor's notes
- The essay is optional, but it's also on Merrimack's short list of what it considers. When the rest of the file is a transcript and a school report, 650 words about yourself is the only place your voice shows up. If you've written a Common App essay anyway, send it.
- Pick your plan on purpose. Early action I has the same Nov. 15 deadline and mid-December answer as early decision without the binding commitment, so apply ED only if Merrimack is clearly your first choice.
