TCU's goal is to admit students who excel in the classroom and beyond. On separate sheets of paper, please complete the following. Please include your name, date of birth, current school, city and state on each page. TCU is a selective university, and our Admission and Scholarship Committees review thousands of applications each year. The essay tells us a great deal about our candidates and allows for expression of writing skills, organizational skills, creativity and imagination. The essay should be 300-500 words in length and legible. Feel free to be serious, humorous or somewhere in between. Compose your essay on one of the following topics. A Those we call great will usually point to some failure in their lives as a pivotal moment leading them to their successful path. Tell us about a time in your life where failure, not success, spurred you on to do something you may not have otherwise done.

ESSAY RéSUMé
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

At TCU, our mission statement is very important to us. “To educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community.” This is integrated into all aspects of the TCU experience. If you were to write a mission statement about your life, what would it be and how does this mission direct your life and goals? Some students enter college having already chosen a course of study, others have not yet narrowed their fields of interest. If you have decided on a area of study or career path, what led you to this decision? If you have not yet determined your academic path, what steps do you plan to take in making that decision, and what new experiences are you looking toward to help narrow your choices? Tell us about the most significant person, experience, or circumstance which has shaped your life thus far. How has it influenced your character? How might you use what you have learned from it to achieve your goals and ambitions?

Final Items
How did you learn about TCU?

I watch all of the sports programs on television. Although, I was not a fan of the team initially, I grew to like the team and liked to see them win. The sport's program made me want to see what the school was like. I went on line and watched videos and pictures of the university. I have visited the campus (not formal) with my uncle, who lives in Forney, Texas. What made you want to apply to TCU? I want to be a part of a school that appears to be well put together. I feel that I can get an expereince that I have never gotten before in my life. I know that there are more things in life than what I am surrounded with currently. I want to be a part of an environment that is positive and will help me to beome a better man, brother, and son. There are so many areas at Texas Christian that can increase my knowledge of things to come. I am so excited and hopeful to become a part of TCU.
