only applicants who are skilled in the following areas: intellectual curiosity, leadership potenal, commitment outside self and

● Exhibits mental toughness under stress
● Demonstrates empathy when interacng with others
● Has a background that will provide a unique perspecve among other top students
We thank you for taking the time to write a letter on your student’s behalf so that we can best understand his/her potential for
success in our program. Please remember that our application portfolio deadline is March 1 and we MUST have ALL of the
completed application portfolios in our office by that day. Please return your letter to the student in a sealed envelope and
include the Recommendation Form (see page 5) in the envelope as well. Please return the sealed envelope to the student, with
the Recommendation form and your letter of recommendation enclosed, so that he/she may submit the letter and the application
portfolio to our offices by the deadline of March 1.
