Step 2
Autobiography Guidelines:
Without help, please write an essay in which you introduce yourself. Used in lieu of an interview, please discuss the following: interests, activities (extra-curricular, community, athletic) and experiences you enjoy or value most. What are your reasons for wishing to attend the Phillips Academy Summer Session?
Accuracy, clarity and honesty are as essential to the application as they are to success in the classroom. Represent yourself as you are so that, if admitted, your teachers will be able to serve you well.
Students applying for English as a Second Language: Using the Autobiography Guidelines in step 2, please write your essay by yourself, in English. It is important for assessment that we see your unassisted work.
