i don't understand why they don't require essay</p>

<p>Section VII on the back and near the end of the paper application requests an "Applicant's Statement" in which the applicant is to provide any additional information he believes might be of interest to the admissions committee and says the statement is a "very important" part of the application. I assume the on-line application says the same somewhere.</p>
