Other Hints and Tips
DEADLINES DO MATTER! Pre-set your own deadline at two weeks prior to the actual deadline.
Follow the directions closely. With strict deadlines, there is little time for corrections and re-submissions.
Have a second person proofread your entire application.
Use an appropriate/professional email address.
Follow through on all requested documentation
Ask questions when necessary. Do not guess!
