Editor's notes
- The personal essay is only 500 words and asks for two things, your main academic interests and why this program, so skip a long life story and tie your interests to specifics such as the live-actor clinical simulations or the 700+ supervised hours. At least two of the three letters must come from faculty, unless you graduated more than ten years ago. Applicants who advance must complete a virtual group interview with faculty that looks at interpersonal skills and communication. Applying by the January 15 priority deadline matters because all applicants are automatically considered for scholarships, and space after that date is not guaranteed.
