ROBERT E COOK HONORS COLLEGE APPLICATION OPTIONS:

Deadlines:

Early Action: November 15th
Regular Decision: February 21st

Based on feedback from former applicants, there are now two ways to apply to the Robert E. Cook Honors College. Our students felt that the traditional application favored Right Brain applicants over Left Brainers. To level the playing field they suggested we offer another version of our application.

Right Brain Application (traditional): application form, 3 short essays, 2 long essays, resume, transcript, 3 teacher recommendations, 1 personal recommendation (optional), formal interview (optional)

Left Brain Application (new): online or downloadable application (only), transcript, resume, 1 school report, 1 recommendation (teacher or personal), required formal interview (in person or by phone), 1 high school research paper

The list below may help you decide which application is right for you. Either format is completely acceptable. The choice is entirely up to you.

LEFT BRAIN
Analytic Thought
Logic
Language
Science and Math

RIGHT BRAIN
Holistic Thought
