Want help for US ApplicationZ? Search no further...

So, you pulling your hair over the complexity of the application to USA's universities? Well, I have received an email that contains a link that expounds on this subject.
Suffice to say, this blogger has really put a lot of effort and went the extra mile to explain the details on the little things that really have a significant impact on your application.

Here's a small (small,small , small) part on the post :
"the forms and requirements differ across the schools, but most schools use the Common App, plus an additional school-specific supplement. for the purpose of this walkthrough, i’ll be referring mostly to the Common App, but forms from schools that don’t use the Common App (eg University of Chicago, Columbia) should be similar anyway.
before i begin, i want to say that my walkthrough should not be read as a sure-fire way of guaranteed acceptance into the Ivy League or your choice of schools. it should be read as a guide written by someone who has learned the ropes of the app process, and it is up to you to extract from this walkthrough what is relevant to you, and then apply it to your own application. the most important thing to remember is that your application is all about YOU. what worked for me and my friends may not work for you, and vice versa. so it is crucial for you, as an applicant, to be discerning enough to pick out from this walkthrough the tips that will complement your application, and discard those that do not. remember that all successful applicants have very different kinds of applications, and that there is no one formula that is ‘the way’ to go."
