Tips from our advisors

1. Read the eligibility line by line before you write anything. Most rejections are eligibility mismatches, not weak essays.
2. Beyond grades, show leadership and community impact with concrete numbers and outcomes.
3. Ask your referees at least 4 weeks ahead and give them your CV, your draft SOP and the deadline.
