Top 10 Application Tips

According to a few conversations I have had while traveling this fall, the series of blog entries on the Top 10 Communication Tips was helpful for some applicants.  I thought I would do something similar over the next few weeks regarding the application process.

Although the steps required to complete an application are listed on our web site and on the application itself, I thought addressing some common questions and providing some commentary might be useful.  Thus over the next few weeks a Top Ten Application Tips series will be published.  I will try to add a bit of insight that might not be revealed in the basic instructions so stay tuned.

As a reminder, the application deadline for fall 2011 admission for the MIA, MPA, and MPA-DP programs is January 5th, 2011 at 11:59:59 PM EST.
