Some preference will be given to those attending an out-of-state institution. PLEASE NOTE: Essay should highlight how the student has taken advantage of the school’s Advanced Placement and other advanced course offerings, and should also detail the student’s demonstrated achievement and leadership experience in his/her primary extracurricular pursuits.
