PART II. APPLICATION QUESTIONS

Please respond to the four following questions so we can get to know more about you. Feel free to be creative. Each of your responses should be one to two pages long, double-spaced.

The LAHP seeks students who see education as more than just attending classes. Tell us how you think the LAHP will help you achieve your goals at UTEP and beyond?

The LAHP seeks students who are passionate about their pursuits. Explain how something that you have been involved in was very meaningful to you.

The LAHP seeks students who are eager to analyze and understand the world around them. Describe and analyze your favorite text [for example, book, film, song, show, etc.] for us. Why is it important beyond your personal enjoyment of it?

Participating in the LAHP is considered a “high-impact experience” in terms of a UTEP Edge perspective. What is another UTEP Edge experience that you have already done or one that you hope to complete? How did that UTEP Edge experience affect your perspective on your UTEP career, or how would you hope that future Edge experience might change your outlook
