Arizona State University, ASU Barrett application opens September 6, 2023. The first priority deadline is November 1. To increase your chances of admission to Barrett, submit your Barrett application BEFORE November 1,

The Barrett application essay allows you to address our admissions committee in your own voice. We have a deep interest in knowing why you are considering Barrett, The Honors College, and your essay will let us better see you as a future scholar in our honors community.

Keep the following in mind:

Your essay should closely examine your ideas about your education and about the Barrett experience

Your essay may take creative and intellectual risks, but be sure to address and integrate all elements of the prompt

Your essay should give the admissions committee insight into how you reason and what you value

The essay will also contribute to our assessment of your ability to write effectively and think critically, key skills for success in the honors curriculum. Essays that are general, impersonal, journalistic, or encyclopedic are less successful. There is never a correct answer nor a preferred response to a prompt.

Applicants choose from one of three essay prompts to compose a 300 - 500 word essay.

Discuss how a specific piece of art (painting, literature, photograph, etc.) or popular culture (song, comic book, etc.) helped you realize something new about yourself or the world. What was that realization, and how did the piece of art or pop culture bring about this change in your thinking? Describe the piece of art or pop culture only briefly, and focus instead on its effect on you and how it makes you a good fit for the Barrett Honors College experience.

What do you hope we learn about you from the Beyond the Classroom section of the application, and what would you like to expand upon? This is not another opportunity to summarize or list your achievements. Instead, how do your activities make you a good fit, specifically, for the Barrett community of scholars?

Barrett’s core values are Community and Belonging, Leadership and Agency, Courage and Curiosity. All three pairs are important to who we are, but which of these couplings most resonate with you - and why?  In answering the why, be specific by reflecting on both your lived experiences and the ways Barrett will be foundational to your time at ASU and beyond.
