Editor's notes

• Purchase's enrollment dean says your perspective matters more than a dramatic story. Write in your own voice, and explain enough context for a reader to follow.
• If you're applying to a conservatory or Creative Writing program, materials are often due about a week after the application. Build your timeline around the materials, not the form.
