Answer

Submitting a teacher's recommendation letter by the deadline
The correct answer is the option that identifies submitting a teacher's recommendation letter by the deadline. The letter explicitly states that to finalize the application, the applicant must submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher by October 15.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the sentence stating the mandatory requirement.
The text states: 'To finalize your application, you must submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher by October 15.'
This establishes the mandatory requirement and its deadline.
2
Differentiate between the mandatory requirement and the optional element.
The text states: 'While a personal statement is highly encouraged... it is entirely optional.'
This helps eliminate options suggesting the personal statement is a required submission.
