So, I was super confident going into my Common App submission, but I totally overlooked some tiny details that ended up being big mistakes. One thing I wish I had done earlier was double-check the word count for each activity description. I took a butcher's knife to my text and ended up with phrases that didn’t even make sense!
A quick fix that saved me was reading the entire activities section out loud. It helped me catch the random keywords and awkward sentences that I missed before.
