Take your time, follow instructions, and be thorough.
Recommendations:
Choose wisely. Ask someone who knows you well and confirm with them in advance that they are willing to provide you with a strong recommendation. If they are unsure, select someone else.
Ask your recommender which email you should use for the application; you will need to enter it into your application.
Ensure you enter the recommender’s email correctly in your application.
Give your recommender plenty of time to complete the recommendation. Let your recommender know they will receive an email with a link to the recommendation form where they will respond to specific questions.
Personal Statement:
Write your response to the prompts given.
Personal statements should be 250-750 words each.
Use the proper number of examples requested.
Draw clear connections between the elements you discuss within a personal statement.
Write your personal statements in a word document and copy and paste them into the application portal.
Re-read your statement for accuracy, grammar, and tone.
Have someone you trust proofread it for you and provide feedback.
Look over your personal statements one more time after pasting them into the application portal.
