Jessica's Pro Tip?

It's important to build your application profile in a way that, at minimum, one person on the admissions team will be willing to vouch for you during deliberations. You must do this by sharing a coherent story and accounting for any gaps in your profile. If you get at least one person to advocate for you in the admissions space, you at least will be in consideration.
