Acceptance is an essay away!
Are the short answer questions viewed as essays as well?
Anything that you write should be written well, with attention to proper style, tone, and content. It is another opportunity to shine. Even a sentence or two, or a short paragraph (not to mention “no more than 50 words”) will help you stand out.

Testimonials
Since it was a last minute decision to apply to graduate school, when I contacted MK, I did not have much time and wanted to complete my application within two weeks. The quick and efficient worker she is, she responded to me with her initial comments and corrections by e-mail within 24, and we met once to finalize the essay together. I was able to send my application to the school by the end of the week, and it was one of the most beautiful and eloquent essays I have ever written. She did not take my voice out of my writing (which tends to happen when someone corrects one’s writing); it flowed more naturally; unnecessary details were removed to meet the word count, and of course, she made it a fun and enjoyable experience for me. I was accepted in to the program shortly afterwards. Thank you for all you have done for me, MK!!
