The Graduate Admission Writing Assessment will be given from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. Applicants should arrive no later than 8:45 a.m. for check-in and bring official picture identification.

Description of the Assessment
Applicants are given a prompt that includes a short summary of current research on a specific topic. They write an essay addressing topic. The primary emphasis for evaluation is how well the applicants integrate their own prior experiences with the current research. The assessment is based upon the quality (not quantity) of written expression along with the analysis and synthesis of ideas. Evaluation is blind and by multiple readers.
