St. Olaf College

Personal statement required (250-650 words), plus one supplement:

1. Required

   St. Olaf requires a writing supplement with short-answer questions specific to the college. St. Olaf does not publish the wording on its own site.

   St. Olaf’s own page describes the shape for this cycle: a short "Why St. Olaf" prompt, three questions that require 10-word responses, and a short optional essay. The wording is not published; open the Common App.
