Applicant's Advice
"Essay quality matters significantly - applicant notes writing poor essays resulted in waitlists/rejections at some schools. Cold email professors/professionals in your community for essay review support. Don't underestimate the value of strong extracurriculars and demonstrated community impact, especially when combined with authentic personal narrative around socioeconomic challenges."
