TIPS NOT TO DO

• Spend a lot of time on ancient history (childhood or high school). Show who you are as an adult.
• Write a chronological account of your life or a laundry list of your accomplishments. Your resume will do this.
• Use clichés.
• Reveal overly personal details about yourself or your family.
• Bring up issues in your essay that you would not want to discuss in an interview.
• Tell a “sob story” with the goal of eliciting pity.
• Make a plea for money. Show instead that you’d be a worthy investment.

TiPS TO DO

• Write from a place of genuine curiosity, using your own voice. Don’t try to write or be who you think “they” want to see.
• Pay attention to any prompt or any explicit instructions about font size, word limits, formatting, and the like.
• Talk about your accomplishments. Be confident, honest, and straightforward about your strengths.
• Use a conversational, rather than overly formal or flowery tone.
• Be selective; go for depth rather than breadth.
• Think about the application as a whole. How does the whole tell a cohesive story about you? Where is the best place to highlight different experiences?
• Show rather than tell; be specific.
• Demonstrate that you are a person who will give something back to your communities, your field, the world.
• Plan to revise.
• Polish, polish, polish. The final draft must be error free.
