Hi! I'm thinking of applying to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and I'm curious if they require any supplemental essays along with the regular application? If yes, could you please share the prompts? Thanks in advance!
Yes, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) does require a supplemental essay along with the general application. For the 2023-2024 application cycle, WPI has one required supplement prompt. Here it is:
"Worcester Polytechnic Institute seeks students who are the right fit for its academic and campus community. In what ways are you the right fit for the distinctive educational and campus experience that Worcester Polytechnic Institute offers?" (500 words)
This prompt is an opportunity for you to share your passion for your intended major or area of interest, and how you discovered it.
