Tips for a Strong Application

  • To make your study abroad application the strongest it can be, IPE suggests the following:
    • Submit thoughtful, well-written essays. Make sure you read the essay prompts carefully and answer all parts of the question. Tell us why the program is a good fit for you, and why you are a good fit for the program
    • Proofread your essays for spelling and grammatical errors before submitting
    • Apply by the priority deadline, if applicable (typically for IPE summer programs only)
