• Proofread all materials to make sure there are no misspellings or errors.
• Make sure your contact information is up to date. If need be, create a clean email address such as firstname.lastname@gmail.com.
• Letters of recommendation (also known as a letter of reference) should come from teachers, counselors, coaches and supervisors. Letters of recommendation should never come from friends or family.
• Think of your essay as your interview. Your essay is what sets you apart from the other applicants.
