**RSVP form opens on March 23 at 10 a.m. PT, closes March 27 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
- You will be paired with a current Informatics student who will review your essays and leave comments. They will not edit your essay for you.
- The event is virtual and synchronous. It will take place over Zoom, and you will have 15 minutes to work with a reviewer.
Preparation:
- Make sure you have your essay in a Google or Word doc online and share the link below. Essay links that are not accessible will not be considered.
- We are not writing or editing your essay. Reviewers are trained by the admissions committee to give you guidance on how to best follow the application prompts, aka general advice, and not specific changes.
- Take advice with a grain of salt. Ultimately, we are not the admissions committee, and cannot give you exact answers on what is "good" or "bad." The purpose of this session is to give you a different perspective on your essay.
If you decide that you would not like your essay to be reviewed after signing up, or have any other questions, please email us at iuga@uw.edu.
