Select action verbs and avoid the passive voice. Use concrete examples. Often examples of behavior demonstrate an idea better than an adjective. Develop exact, concrete language. Avoid vague references, wordy usage or cliches.
Some applications list a preference for typed or handwritten work.
Regardless of the preference, the application should be neat and legible. Keep a copy for your records. A small group of schools offers this opportunity, especially to those who are highly qualified. If you are considering this process you should see Mr. Ferrito early in the senior year and take all tests required by that college. The completed application needs to be completed and returned to Mr. Ferrito two weeks before the deadline.
