It doesn\u2019t look good to submit an awesome personal statement and not-so-good CV or digital application. The application lacks consistency and errors in your digital application or CV will lower the quality of your overall application. The way things are worded and described are important.<\/p>\n<p>2. Your editor knows your situation now, so it\u2019s easy to continue on. It will also streamline your application to build a strong and consistent persona to present to the committee.<\/p>\n<p>3.
