Preparing Application -SOP, Recommendations and Resume

Many of us give a lot of effort to standardized test preparation. But once it is done we just relax a bit and don't put enough effort in application materials preparation. This often leads to rejection from universities. So preparation of application materials deserves effort similar in magnitude to that of test preparation. But it has become a habit today that we find it very difficult to start on our own until and unless someone shows us the way. So here I am giving some of the links that might show you the way. But mind you don't over state things and divert it from reality. Just try to be original in an impressive way.

Here are the links:-

Out of all these, if I am asked to recommend one, I will go with the first one. It's so useful and nice. There's the explanation for the every step from starting the application to the things to do in decision waiting period. Amazing that there are good people in this world who love to share their ideas and experience.
