My thoughts and (hopefully) useful tips for 2014 applicants

<p>Good post - I definitely agree with the explaining your passions part - this is essential to a strong application, but remember your “passion,” does not necessarily have to be something central such as debate or sports (although having a deep passion in these is great). As we’ve discussed in my thread - to demonstrate your passions, you may tale a variety of pursuits, connect them, and show your love for them. </p>
