Default NECO's supplemental app


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Question for everyone who is filling out NECO's supplemental app: When it says: "indicate the sources which influenced your decision to apply," by sources do they mean discuss specific people who inspired you to go to NECO OR can it also be interpreted as what specific reasons I want to attend NECO (aka talk about their campus and focus of their education, etc)?

Thanks!

Call them up for a definite answer. I'll take a guess and say its open to your interpretation, which is all the more reason to call to verify.

"indicate the sources which influenced your decision to apply,"

Can anyone clarify what they mean by sources??? I am confused as what I should write about. Should I talk about specific aspects of NECO's program?

Like the person who posted above you, you should call NECO to verify if you don't know what sources to use.

As for when I applied, I cited unique aspects of their program and the location of the school. I didn't shadow any NECO alums but if I did, I might have used them as a source too.
