Assuming a student may be admissible based on academic potential, the most common mistake is not putting enough effort into the application or not demonstrating focus. Applicants are afforded chances to showcase their skills and accomplishments through their résumé and essays. There is an optional essay that applicants can use to highlight accomplishments or explain areas of the application that may not be as strong as expected. Applicants should not let these opportunities go to waste. The admissions interview is also important because interpersonal and professional skills are gauged here.
