Thank you for choosing the No-Test option. Our admissions committee would like to offer you an opportunity to submit an additional essay that offers insights into your personal experience and background. Although an additional essay is not required, the admission committee would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about you and your potential contribution to the university.

Select the essay you would like to respond to:

Education happens inside and outside the classroom. Describe how an activity or community you are involved in (a workplace, a community-based organization, a church group, etc.) has helped shape your character.

Describe an instance in your academic career where you have successfully engaged with support services to make a meaningful difference in your life.

What specific characteristics make a leader effective? Please share with us how you are a leader in your home, school, or community.

What is it about UMass Lowell that compelled you to apply for admission and how do you see yourself being a contributing member to our campus community?

Overcoming hardship can build strength of character, resilience, and self-confidence. Please describe an instance in your personal life where you have overcome some adversity and how that experience has instilled these qualities in you.

Describe your experience, motivation, or character traits that will allow you to be a successful student at UMass Lowell.

In lieu of responding to one of the aforementioned essay prompts, you are welcome to submit a graded sample of your academic work. The topic of your graded essay should relate to your personal character, motivation, or qualities and should help us glean insight into what kind of member of our community you will be.
