Thank you so much for taking the time to fill out our Intensive Immersion Program application as we are excited to learn more about you! We use this application to gauge your interest and commitment to our award-winning, 15-month youth development program, and gain insight into who you are. So take your time, plus a big deep breath, and try your best to answer each question thoroughly and honestly.  Please keep in mind that there is no right or wrong answer to these questions.

You may also complete your responses in a word processing document (e.g. Google Docs, Word, etc.) first, then paste them in this form when you are ready to submit. This will help you spellcheck and edit your work prior to submission.

Finally, this application is intended for *YOU, THE STUDENT*, and it is critical that we get YOUR voice. Students that complete their own applications enjoy the greatest success in the admissions process as it allows us to quickly connect with you on a deeper level.
