The Apply Yourself Workshop
Now that you've had a chance to visit with representatives of the different colleges at Illinois through the College Information Series, consider joining us for Apply Yourself. The Apply Yourself Workshop is a program designed to engage DGS students as they prepare to apply for the intercollegiate transfer (ICT) process.
This workshop offers in-depth tutorials on writing a personal statement and building a strong resume, as well as the opportunity to hear from U of I students who have been through the ICT process.
