Slide Presentation
We have asked for a great deal of information throughout this application
and now invite you to tell us about yourself. Using four slides or less,
please provide readers with content that captures who you are.
We have set forth the following guidelines for you to consider when
creating your presentation.
- The content is completely up to you. There is no right or wrong
approach to this essay. Feel free to use the software you are most
comfortable with. Acceptable formats for upload in the online
application system are PowerPoint or PDF.
- There is a strict maximum of 4 slides, though you can provide fewer
than 4 if you choose.
- Slides will be printed and added to your file for review, therefore,
flash, hyperlinks, embedded videos, music, etc. will not be viewed by
the committee. You are limited to text and static images to convey your
points. Color may be used.
- Slides will be evaluated on the quality of content and ability to
convey your ideas, not on technical expertise or presentation.
- You are welcome to attach a document containing notes if you feel a
deeper explanation of your slides is necessary. However the hope is the
slide is able to stand alone and convey your ideas clearly. You will not
be penalized for adding notes but you should not construct a slide with
the intention of using the notes section as a consistent means of
explanation.
Optional Essay
If there is any important information that is relevant for your candidacy
that you were unable to address elsewhere in the application, please share
that information here.
