Hello,
I was wondering if the WUSTL scholarship committee had access to our common app essay.
There is a certain circumstance which I would really like and need the committee to know about that I wrote about in my common app essay. But, I’ve heard that they do not have access to the common app essay section. So I was wondering weather to include it in the optional additional info section.
Can somebody please confirm/deny that the scholarship committee doesn’t have access to our common app essay.
Thank you in advanced!
The scholarship committee will read over your entire common app, including the essay
Really? The engineering department told us that they didn’t see the common app essays. Now I’m confused.
There is an optional question with the scholarship applications that says,
Are there any additional circumstances that the University Scholars committee should consider? Is there anything you would like to tell the committee that you weren’t able to include in your Common Application?
So, I would assume that the committee can access your Common App since it says explicitly “that you weren’t able to include in your Common Application.”
This doesn’t necessarily mean that they can access your essay though. It could just be information, extracurriculars and extenuating circumstances.
