<p>Be unique in your essays and make sure the admissions counselors get to know your personality. Don’t be afraid to choose the weird essay questions as those sometimes let you express yourself the most. Avoid cliches and the whole “I learned this about myself or the world,” just stick to a story, tell the story and make sure the story tells something about you. Trust me you can get in with average scores as long as you truly express yourself in the essays.</p>
