Bottom Line:

• Take control of the application process by organizing it in your own way. Do not let it control you!

• Complete your application using a black pen or typewriter. Do not use blue pen.

• When asking individuals to write recommendations, put your request in writing with the date it needs to be returned.

• Ask individuals writing recommendations well in advance of the deadline. If you want them to write a "quality" recommendation, avoid asking them the night before.

• Your counselor will assist you with any part of this process. You are not in this alone.
