What are they looking for?

What my daughter likes best is there are no prerequisites for courses you’re interested in. And that when choosing your courses you interview the professor, not the other way around. With no grades, the evaluations are quite in-depth and descriptive which, for a parent, really lets you know the students and the teachers have a unique relationship as partners in the endeavor. Also, if there isn’t a course offered in something you want to study, or expand upon, your Don will help you design one. I can’t tell you how it all works out from an after-college or career standpoint but my daughter—now going into her fourth year (third at SLC as a transfer)—has already had one internship in the city during the school year, and is really very happy at SLC.

What they’re looking for on your application is a proficiency in writing beyond most any other school. It seems to be what they rely on most for admission, in addition to high-school record and challenging course load. You will do a lot of writing for nearly every class. Check out the course listing for a rather interesting and eclectic classes and titles.
