The most admissions insights in a newsletter on the web
Welcome! At this point, we are in peak application season. This is usually the first wave of crunch applications, particularly for those trying to get their applications in for Early Decision/Action consideration. Best of luck in completing your application. Before we dive into this week’s content, a couple of reminders:
Stay organized and stay calm.
Do not let anyone give you documentation at the last minute - require it weeks before it is due.
Do not make last minute requests - be respectful of other people’s time the way you want them to be respectful of yours.
Be thankful - you are not the only one making requests, and a little bit of gratitude goes a long way.
Do not panic - At this point, you have done all you can.
