Evaluation
How long have you known this student and in what context?
What are the first words that come to your mind to describe this student?
Please attach a short evaluation (1000 words or less) that will help colleges differentiate this student from others. We especially welcome a
broad-based assessment and encourage you to consider describing or addressing:
The student's academic, extracurricular, and personal characteristics.
Relevant context for the student's performance and involvement, such as particularities of family situation or after-school obligations,
either positive or negative.
Observed problematic behaviors, perhaps separable from academic performance, that an admission committee should explore further.
