Pierre LaClede Honors College Supplemental Application Form

If you wish to be considered for admission to the Pierre Laclede Honors College, please complete the following application, in addition to the preceding Undergraduate Application for Admission. This supplemental application form is also available to print in Adobe PDF format.

The central aim of the Honors College admissions process is informational. We want to know as much as we can about your abilities and ambitions, and we want you to know as much as you can about the Honors College and its academic program. Accordingly, we ask you as an applicant to send (or have sent) to us:

two letters of recommendation from high school or college instructors
two of your best essays written for high school or college courses

We invite most applicants to the Honors College for a guided tour and an admissions interview, during which you will have the opportunity to ask us questions.

The letters of recommendation should be written on official school/college stationary and should contain instructors' evaluation of your academic accomplishments thus far and of your potential as a University student. Your references are welcome to comment on other matters, too (for instance, on your abilities to contribute to the social and cultural activities of the Honors College).

Letters of recommendation should be sent directly to the Honors College by your references and addressed to:

Admissions Officer
Pierre Laclede Honors College
University of Missouri-St. Louis
8001 Natural Bridge Road
St. Louis, MO 63121-4499

Please list the names, college/school, and addresses of the two persons you have asked to write letters of recommendation:

Recommendation #1:
Name:
College or School:
Address:
Recommendation #2:
Name:
College or School:
Address:

Your two sample essays should be sent to the same address. At least one of the essays should be on an academic subject (for example, a history essay or a book review). They do not need to be 'clean' copies; indeed we like to see the comments your teachers have made on your work. Please ensure that your name and address are on each essay's title page.

Honors College tour and interview: For most applicants, the information process will continue with a visit to the Honors College for a guided tour of the College. Applicants unable to travel to the College may be interviewed by telephone.

Our admissions interviews and tours normally take place on Thursdays and Fridays during daytime office hours (8am-5pm). Family members are welcome to take part in the the tour and, if the applicant wishes, to sit in on the interview with the Dean or Associate Dean. Admissions interviews at Pierre Laclede Honors College are informal and informational, no inquisitorial, and are aimed principally at informing applicants about the Honors College and its academic program. If we do offer you admission, we want to ensure that you know enough about us to make the right choice.
