6 Make sure your application and essays are immaculate

Often times, the admissions staff reading your application and essays willnever meet you in person. Do not squander this "first impression" byallowing any stains (applicable only to applications submitted via snail mail),misaligned page margins, or inconsistent fonts. These types of things canmake the difference between being admitted and being rejected, so I wouldencourage you to take this to heart.
