In the McBride Honors Program, we seek students who have much to gain from joining our community, as well as much to contribute to it. We appreciate vivid detail that helps us learn about who you are. Worry less about what you think we want to hear, and instead share what you’d like us to know about you. For each of the short essays, we have provided several options for you to choose from, so that you can respond to the questions that allow you to best express yourself.
Please send a photograph with your application that says something about you as a person. Please make sure your face is fully visible, as this will also help jog our memories during and after the interview process.
Provide a short excerpt (500 word max) from any piece of writing you did in school. Note at the top what the writing was for (e.g. what class and assignment) and when you composed it (e.g. junior in high school, freshman at Mines). You may also add clarifying text so that we may understand the context from which this excerpt was taken.
