Know When It’s Your Time

Nobody is forcing you to apply right now. If you have liabilities in your application, then consider taking these proactive steps before you take your shot at the best schools.

The Rush Job

You will be competing against incredibly talented applicants. Every year, I see candidates who try to pull off a rush job, and in doing so, they underestimate with whom they are competing.

Don’t Be The Megalomaniac

Some candidates talk about their accomplishments as if they have single-handedly saved an entire industry. In the essays and interviews, you will fail if you come across as a pure self-promoter.

Boring Essays

Admissions readers make judgments very quickly. After all, they do have a stack to get through. Regardless of your scores, if you fail to engage the reader and sustain his or her interest, you are toast.
