General Tips and Tricks

• Don't let anybody edit the "you" out of your essay. "When I was accepted into a university, they accepted me for who I was not who someone else wanted me to be. Maintain your own voice and speak as your brilliant self."

• Common Application Trick: Application Versions -- you can create alternate versions of your Common Application.

• Don't ponder upon your Standardized Test scores. Universities admit a student, not a score. They solicit uniqueness.
