Applicant's Advice
"Prioritize safeties. Show your unique voice in essays—use personal slang and anecdotes to demonstrate you're a real person. Be specific when answering interview questions, avoid vague clichés. Spend significant time on essays. Don't feel bad about rejections from top schools in competitive years if you have strong acceptances."
