GW students wishing to take 231 will in addition need to write the application essay addressing the following questions:

1) Why do you wish to be a member of the Institute? What unique experience or attributes would make you an asset to a documentary production team? Note that selection is based on a variety of criteria, not only on your past academic or professional experience, but also on your personal interests, travel experience, and world-view.

2) Because the members of each Institute collectively produce a short documentary film, we are interested in learning more about your ability to work with others. Please carefully describe a significant experience in which you had to depend upon others and work in a group.
