Essay Guidance

The book that you reference-whether it is political, public policy, philosophical, theological, scientific, fictional, or poetic in nature-should tie directly to your essay. You should not, however, quote extensively from this work or otherwise paraphrase its arguments. The successful applicants will have essays that draw from such an important work yet produce another, related way of approaching the topic.
