First, we’ll talk about what the take-home message of an application should be, and the characteristics of a strong application. Then, we’ll talk about ways students can approach the application to reveal a cohesive picture of who they are, and who they’re going to be. After that, we’ll go through each section of the application and talk about do’s and don’ts.
