questions

When should I buy this?

Spring of 1L is ideal. Chapter 1 is about treating the rest of the year like it's already being read, because it is. The guide covers recs and the window, and those start before grades post.

What do I get?

A download page opens right after checkout with a zip of four files: the guide, the application, the workbook (all PDFs) and the transfer tracker (an Excel file that also opens in Google Sheets and Numbers). You can open each PDF on its own on that page, which helps on a phone.

Is the application mine to reuse?

No. It's there so you can see real writing that was submitted. Do not submit it, or any part of it, as your own.

Is this legal advice?

No. It's one student's process guide. No admission, credit, or rank promise. Personal use only.
