Supplemental essay prompts
We want to hear how you came to faith in Christ and what God is doing in your life. You can do this by writing your story and sharing it with us. Or if you prefer, you can instead share your story with an Admissions Counselor in person during a campus visit or over the phone.
In a few paragraphs, please explain why you are interested in joining the Honors Guild.
Tell us about a time you changed your mind. Maybe your view of a political, scientific, ethical, or theological issue changed. Maybe you reconsidered a belief about God, an interpretation of scripture, or another aspect of your faith. Be specific and detailed. Please respond to this prompt in approximately 300-500 words.
Taylor is a liberal arts university, which means that students are required to take a variety of foundational courses in subjects outside of their majors. How do you see a liberal arts education shaping your future personal and professional development?
