Please respond to the prompt associated with the college or school to which you applied and/or were admitted:

(Business)

In the mid-1980s, the famous financier Ivan Boesky said to a group of business students, "Greed is all right by the way: I want you to know that I think that greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself." Does "greed" have a proper role in business? If so, what? If not, why not? Do you think it played a role in the recent economic meltdown? How should this human drive be managed in business so that we get more of the positive and less of the negative?

(Communications and Fine Arts)

Communication can be used, as a medium, in various ways, to address the most pressing issues of the 21st Century. Communication through the arts, dance, and the rhetorical arts impact audiences in ways that create new understandings and social realities. How can your particular emphasis (e.g., dance, theatre, communication studies) be used to create new cultural understandings? What message should your emphasis give?  How would that message be communicated?

(Film and Television)

Pitch a film/TV show/screenplay/album that you want to produce or have already produced. How does this work inform, enlighten and entertain the audience? How does this work fit contextually with others in the same genre?

(Liberal Arts)

What is the value of the humanities in a time of economic crisis? More generally, in what way(s) do the humanities help us survive in difficult times?

(Science and Engineering)

Albert Einstein once said: "God always takes the simplest way." What do you think he meant by that as a guide to doing science?

Please write an intellectually interesting essay on an issue or problem addressed recently in the news. What would your solution to that issue or problem be? Why would such a solution be preferable to other possibilities?
