Application Tips

Activities Chart

Fully detail your responsibilities for each activity
Provide hours for each activity. This can be per week, month or season. Specify which measurement you are using (i.e. 40/week)
Do the math and provide the total hours. If you worked 40/week for two years: 40hrs x 52wks = 2080hrs x 2 years = 4160 hours

Essays

Keep your responses to the main essays with in the word limit of 200-500 words per essay
All additional essays are 2000 characters or less (about 350 words)
Answer the question completely
Be yourself, do not try to find the “right” answer
Proof read, again and again. Type your essay in Word or another word processing program, read a printed version and only once you are happy with the final product, copy and paste into the application
