Tips from Batten’s Annual Application Workshop

Missed last night’s Batten Application Workshop? Read on for helpful tips from our Ambassadors and ways to seek additional resources before our first application deadlines in January.

Last night, the Batten Ambassadors hosted their annual fall Batten Application Workshop, providing opportunities for prospective students to gain peer-provided feedback on their materials. Ambassadors shared some great tips and insights, which you can access through the slide deck below.

There are still opportunities to engage with Ambassadors before spring semester application deadlines! On Fridays in December until winter break, attend Open Office Hours from 2-4 PM in Garrett Hall room 203 to ask questions about application and receive feedback on ideas or drafts. Additionally, we will provide opportunities to connect with Ambassadors virtually over break, as well as workshops with the Career Center on January 15 and January 20! As always, if you have general application questions, you can reach out to our office by email or by an appointment!
