This "wow" factor you mention is great to have in your apps, but aren't each invidual part of my app reviewed by different people? Therefore, there really isn't a need for a overall "wow" factor because the app is not reviewed as a whole. Is there something here that I am missing?

Thanks,
Robert
Hi Robert and thanks for your inquiry.

First of all, the application is usually read all the way through by the same person. Secondly, a ‘wow’ factor can be used in one specific essay and to boost one particular theme in your story. You don’t always have to read the entire application to find a ‘wow’ factor. In fact, such a scenario is not normally advisable since you want to make the admissions officers’ jobs as easy as possible.

Best of luck with your applications!

Sincerely,
