Please note that students will do all the writing and will fill out their own applications. Throughout the years I have learned that the skills a student learns during the application process are some of the important non-academic skills that they will need to be successful at the university they attend. There will be many forms, deadlines, emails to adults and other bureaucratic tasks in their future, from registering for classes to asking a professor for an internship recommendation. This application process can help them learn and practice these skill while they have support. Also understand that no strategy or support can guarantee any student’s acceptance into any program or university.
