I'm sending in my application within the week, but are there any pointers that you can provide? My GPA is about average, 3.4, but I had moderately rigorous course loads and I volunteered fairly extensively on the side. I applied to a summer program earlier in the year and I was rejected, so are there any tips on how to write a better personal letter/short answer response?

Any and all help you can give is really appreciated.

hey abbybear, i have to say that for the short answer and personal letter, you really just have to be yourself when responding. I know that because I am a rising sophomore, they look for maturity in my age group. I think that telling them my true feelings and what I did really proved my personality and helped push my application for the better. Just talk about stuff you love, your ideas, your life, etc and you're good to go. That's what I did I guess.
