This includes information and guidance around admissions assessments, personal statements, and interviews, as well as an opportunity to get your questions answered.

This webinar will focus on supercurricular activities, the personal statement and how to use these to help make a competitive application. This will be the final session of the summer!
We'll discuss what supercurricular activities are and how these and the personal statement fit into the admissions process, including what makes a strong personal statement.
