In 1-2 paragraphs (about 150-200 words) summarize your understanding of the comments that you have received on your previous essay(s). Next, explain how you used this feedback to write this essay. What did you do differently since writing your previous essay(s)? How are you trying to improve? What do you continue to have questions or concerns about? Your cover letter will not be graded, but essays without a cover letter will not be accepted and late penalties will apply.
