Cook Counseling Center at Virginia Tech
2007-2008 Supplemental Application Questions

 

The purpose of the following questions is to help us get a sense for who you are and how you think about people. Please be succinct!

• What has been the most meaningful training experience for you thus far in your professional development?
   

• Leonardo da Vinci developed a formula for the antithesis between painting and sculpture. The formula, in essence, is that in painting something is added, whereas in sculpture something is taken away. In your work as a psychotherapist and supervisor are you a painter or a sculptor?
