Essays
Simmons Distinguished Scholar Award essay (500)
Write an essay in which you describe your leadership style, giving specific examples to show what kinds of experiences have crafted you as a leader, and what kind of leader you think you will become at Simmons.
Editor's notes
- If you have a 3.50 GPA or higher, write the Distinguished Scholar essay and apply by Dec. 1. It's the only route to Simmons's full ride, and it doubles as your Early Action 2 deadline.
- Schedule an interview. It's optional, but Simmons says it highly recommends one, and it's your best chance to talk through your goals beyond the essay.
