Every participant submits a draft statement of purpose 72 hours in advance. Reviewers read it before you arrive.
The session runs in rotating groups of four with one alumni reviewer per group, then a plenary on the mistakes that recurred across drafts.
Places are capped at 40 so that everyone gets read properly.
Fifteen minutes, then straight into the work.
Small-group review of submitted drafts.
