Supplemental Essay Type(s): Community
American University wants to invite students to campus who are not only eager to engage with and learn from a diverse group of people with a wide range of lived experiences, but also contribute to the inclusive excellence of campus life. So, tell admissions a story about a time when you fostered inclusivity in a community of your own and, then, connect that story to your vision for joining the American community. Maybe you’re very involved in a progressive church youth group that celebrates its members’ differences, including queer, trans, and nonbinary members. Do you hope to get involved with The Center for Diversity and Inclusion’s LGBTQ community on campus next fall? Perhaps you forged friendships with peers with whom you likely would have never crossed paths when you mustered the courage to join the marching band junior year. What have those relationships meant to you and how do you hope to continue to step outside your comfort zone and share your love of music in Washington, D.C. next fall?
