Applicant's Advice

"Develop a clear theme or story in your application, especially around a specific major. Use portfolios if available to showcase unique work. Research school fit and tailor supplements accordingly. Avoid oversaturated majors like CS unless you have exceptional projects and competition wins. Consider specialized programs that allow you to stand out from applicants with similar stats."
