Just to clarify, it's an analysis of the most common ways grad applicants screw up their chances of being accepted into the program of their choice. Really thorough.
I can't imagine why the admissions committee turned down the applicant that listed porn as one of her activities. Isn't that an instant ticket to a full ride scholarship?
A few months ago there was a prospective applicant who asked if he should mention that he used drugs, in his personal statement. I hope we talked him out of it.
