2 written, 1 timed written. Many applicants find the essays challenging due to the word limit (max. 350 words). Please adhere to the guidelines. • You need to be clear and concise, with simple language enhancing readability. • Don’t over-rely on spellcheck, given the existence of homonyms! Proofread your essays a few times, possibly reading out loud to catch mistakes you may not have noticed when reading silently. You may also wish to have a trusted friend or relative do a final read to ensure you didn’t miss anything. • Sometimes applicants feel they need to write something in the optional essay because it’s available. Please don’t! This space is to be used only when some part of your application requires clarification.

Two references If you have been working for several years, you should be providing professional references. • Your direct managers, past or present, make the best referees as they are most familiar with your work and potential. • If you have worked on a project for several months, the project lead could also make a strong referee, especially if you worked with that individual extensively. • It is acceptable for both references to come from the same company, and you do not have to include a current supervisor if this is too difficult.

Your resume should not exceed two pages. • If your resume is overflowing with every detail of every job and project you have ever worked on, you will want to re-think the format for your Schulich application. • Organize your resume into logical sections and present your work history in reverse chronological order. • Get to the point and avoid long paragraphs.
