How can my son’s college application shine?
Favorite Answer
2. Take out anything hackneyed or cliche’ like “Make his application shine” and “We are dumbfounded.”
3. Leave the cow at home. In other words, don’t try to beef it up. Make it seem completely honest and un-embellished. As a matter of fact, strip it down to the barest of essentials. IN the words of Joe Friday, of Dragnet, “Just the facts ma’am.”
4. Make it crystal clear. Break out information like you would on a job resume. Volunteer work, academic achievements, honors…
5. Have someone check it for grammar (not you unless he asks you).
