Personal Statement/College Essay

The Common Application requires you to complete a personal statement. You may select any of the prompts that are provided for you. When we are evaluating your essay, we want to learn more about you. This is your time to share something with us that we may not be able to see in other pieces of your application. In addition to learning about you, we are also reviewing your writing ability. The ability to express yourself in the written word is incredibly important at our school. When writing your essay, make sure that it is written to the best of your ability.

Letters of Recommendation

Letters of recommendation are an important part of our holistic review process. When reading letters from a teacher and/or guidance counselor we are able to learn a little more about you. It is important for us to hear from your guidance counselor and your teacher to better understand who you are as a student and as a person. A guidance counselor often provides important information relating to your experiences in high school and your academic career. If special circumstances had an impact on your academic performance, your guidance or teacher recommendation may help to share this information with us.

Saint Anselm College also welcomes recommendation letters from your parents or guardians. President DiSalvo welcomes each parent to write a letter about their son or daughter. This recommendation is a great way for us to learn more about you. The parent letter is not an admission requirement. If a parent letter is not submitted, it will not impact your application.

Test Scores

Test scores are optional for all students except homeschool and those applying for nursing. All other students may elect to have their test scores submitted to be reviewed with their application. Not submitting your scores will not negatively impact your application.

Beginning with the entering class of fall 2017, applicants who wish to submit their SAT scores may choose to submit scores from the “old” exam or “new” exam. As with the ACT exam, we suggest that students take the optional essay/writing section on the new SAT. The essay/writing portion of the new SAT is not an admission requirement. If students take both the “old” and “new” SAT exams, we will super-score the SAT exams taken for the same type of exam. We will not super-score across the “old” and “new” exams.

SAT and ACT test dates prior to November 15th will release results in time for scores to be considered with early action or early decision applications. If you are applying regular decision, test dates through December 15th will provide results in time for your scores to be considered with your application. To learn more about our SAT policy
