Doing 3 schools instead of 2 won’t show initiative; just shows you can’t follow directions.

like the other comment says it said at least 2, not 2 max. Obviously does it matter, probably not, but I aint taking a 0.00001% chance when I see sankeys on reddit of 4.0 527 students with all the right activities get into zero schools. this process is cutthroat

with no word count limit, how long should these essays be?
I did 300-500 words when I applied last cycle, and was accepted as well!
Helppppp how do I answer this question: What characteristics, qualities, or attributes do you possess that have helped you navigate conflict, change, or unfamiliar situations? In your response, reflect on how you demonstrate resiliency and a growth mindset in your approach to personal and professional development.
Focus on a story or literally answer abt my characteristics, qualities, and attributes? I literally cannot think of ANYTHING

imo, it shows that you went out of your way to research all the campuses. If that's a red flag, well, my apologies for the extra effort.
