Remember, your application is a first impression of you. Keep a few things in mind when preparing your application:
- Write a killer essay. Make it stand out.
- Give yourself plenty of time to meet deadlines. You won’t make any friends showing up late.
- Answer all questions. Don't leave anything blank.
- Follow all the directions, completely.
- Type or print your answers. Be neat. Presentation is important.
- Include supporting materials (letters of recommendation, outstanding examples of your work or interests).
- Make a copy. Applications can get misplaced.
- Sign the application.
- Include any required processing fees with your application.
- If the application requires an essay, practice writing one before putting the final version on the application.
- Fine tune your essay. Don't ramble. Have someone else review your draft.
- Be yourself. Don't exaggerate your achievements or abilities.
- Proofread your application. Have a parent or a friend proofread it, too.
