Editor's notes

  • Treat the personal statement seriously. The CDS rates the essay important, above test scores, and SCSU names it among the things it reviews.
  • Apply on SCSU's own application between Oct. 15 and Nov. 15 to skip the $50 fee. You'll also be in early for the March 1 merit deadline.
