Warren Wilson writing supplement
At Warren Wilson College, we want to have a holistic understanding of who you are beyond your academic record. Please feel free to elaborate on one or more of your extracurricular activities, community engagement or work commitments, activism experiences, leadership roles, responsibilities, or other life experiences to give us a fuller understanding of you as a person. How have these opportunities been meaningful in your life or helped you grow and learn? How do you envision these experiences relating to your future at Warren Wilson College?
Editor's notes
- Write the supplement. Warren Wilson labels it optional and critical in the same paragraph, and it asks about work and community engagement, which its Work Program centers on.
- If your family's income is $150,000 or less and your weighted GPA is 3.0 or higher, apply for Milepost One by Feb. 15, 2027. It covers full tuition and needs a separate essay.
