I applied to both UP and CCLCM so I'm not really sure which prompts go with which program as they are all just lumped together, but this is what I got:
Greatest Challenge Essay (3500 characters)
The admissions committee is interested in gaining more insight into you as a person. Please describe the greatest personal challenge you have faced which you feel has helped to shape you as a person. Examples may include a time when you felt you were "in over your head," or a time when you felt personally criticized. You may also discuss a moral or ethical dilemma, a situation of personal adversity, or a hurdle in your life that you worked hard to overcome. Please include how you got through the experience and what you may have learned about yourself.
Research Essay (3500 characters)
One of the four pillars of the Western Reserve2 Curriculum is Research and Scholarship. Although research is not a pre-requisite requirement for the University Track, if you have participated in research or another scholarly project please tell us about it. Describe your experience, including the question you pursued and how you approached it, your results and interpretation of the results, and most importantly, any thoughts about what this experience meant to you. Remember that research is broad-based and can include such projects as a senior capstone or a thesis and can include both medical and non-medically-related investigations.
Small Group Essay (300-1000 characters)
If you were working on a small group project and you thought that another student wasn't carrying his/her load, how would you handle it?
Areas of improvement (500-1000 characters)
Each year our students target for themselves areas of improvement. Other than the acquisition of new knowledge, what personal area do you think you have that could use strengthening? Design a plan as to how you could improve it.
Criticism & Feedback (500-1000 characters)
Tell us about a time when you received unexpected criticism or negative feedback. How did you react? What did you do?
