Here’s What *NOT* to Do on the Optional Essay
Did you know when you apply to Siena the essay is optional? Seriously! But that doesn’t necessarily mean you should skip it. The essay is a great option for students who want to give a more full view of themselves than what can be seen on a transcript and application.
