As preparation, you may wish to discuss your career interests with one or more professors, and include any insights you gain from these discussions, and any other sources, which explain how this program might help you prepare for your future. Note any honors and awards that you have received that are relevant. If you do not believe your grades reflect your potential, please explain them in this essay.

  4. Letter of Recommendation - A letter from a member of your college faculty who knows you well and can comment with authority on your potential as a participant in this program. If you can identify a person better qualified to evaluate your abilities, i.e., a co-op adviser or industry mentor, please feel free to have that person write your recommendation.
