Completing the Application
- Be sure to complete each section of your application in full.
- Beware of hidden character limits (typically 200 characters per field).
- We recommend writing the Motivational Statement in a word processor and copying/pasting it into the application because it has a tendancy to time-out and lose information. Save often!
- Don't forget to choose references who have email addresses. If your reference does not have an email address please use "none@none.com" in the email field and be sure to include a current phone number.
