Most students barely give the Biographical Section much thought and for most students, it makes a lot of sense. The section is mostly data entry and includes some pretty routine, standard information. But understanding how this information is used in the application process is helpful for students in crafting it with care. Additionally, this section includes questions about a student's legal and institutional history - these questions are essential to get right for students to be fully considered and reviewed by schools. This week, we focus on this important section to help applicants understand its power in their application.
