7 Have someone proof your admissions essays

I can not overstate the importance of having a third party review yourapplication essays. Make sure the proofreader has good grammar and is committedto spending quality time with your essays. Do NOT try to proof your own essaysall by yourself. You may catch a lot of your own errors, but chances are somesilly ones will get by you. Why? Because when you wrote the particularly awkwardsentence, you know what you meant to say. Unfortunately for you, the admissionsstaff is not likely to be as impressed by the unclear and awkward sentence.
