You guys have helped me a lot so I figured I'd post this article. If you're applying, read it!


Hope you guys like it, I'm not sure if this has already been posted. 😛

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.
 
Thanks, that was an entertaining read. I can't believe what some people in that study included in their application essays!
 
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.
