Military Veteran Writing Supplements

Please select two academic areas of interest from the list of majors available at Wesleyan.

Primary Academic Interest

Secondary Academic Interest

What draws you to the academic areas you've selected above? How do your previous experiences, both civilian and military, relate to these academic interests? (250 words)

What aspects of Wesleyan University appeal to you as a prospective student and community member? Beyond academics, which activities are you likely to pursue on campus? (250 words)

At Wesleyan, it’s often said that it’s okay to fail. What matters is your response to failure. Assuming you’ve met with failure like all of us, or at times felt overwhelmed, how did you respond and what did you learn from this experience? (250 words)

Members of the Wesleyan community each bring unique perspectives and experiences to campus life, in and out of the classroom. As a military veteran, you have the potential offer to add an uncommon yet immensely valuable voice to Wesleyan. What have you learned about yourself, and how have your goals evolved, as a result of your military service? How did the military shape you as a person, and inform your decision to apply to college? (500 words) (Note: If you are submitting the Service to School VetLink Addendum and have already addressed this question in the Personal Essay, please feel free to include your response here.)

Disciplinary/Criminal History

Although Wesleyan requires responses to the following questions regarding disciplinary and/or criminal violations, answering “YES” does not necessarily disqualify your application. The Veteran Admission Committee conducts a complete and holistic review of all application materials and factors in relevant extenuating circumstances and context. Your responses to these questions will be considered as a secondary stage of our application evaluation.

Have you ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation in school or service that involved academic dishonesty or misconduct where the violation involved physical or mental harm, or potential harm, to another person?

If you answered Yes, please provide the committee with a description of the event(s), the resolution of the event(s), and lessons you might have learned from the experience(s).

Are you currently charged with a felony, or have you been convicted of or pled guilty to a felony?

If you answered Yes, please provide the committee with description(s) and explanation(s), resolutions of the event(s), and lessons you might have learned from the experience(s).
