<p>Early October…I submitted on Nov 21. I followed Berkley’s online PS guide very carefully. </p>
<p>Another thing I want to add, if you get someone to review it, make sure you give them a copy of the guidelines and rules. There are some exceptions in the PS not allowed in normal essays (like using ‘I’) and some you should absolutely avoid (cliches, idioms, wordy proses etc.).</p>
