while maintaining your health, wellness, and good academic progress. <b><u><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Also, please see answers to some of the questions submitted during the Block 3 presentation</span> (see below)</u></b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have had with a letter writer, the more personal and likely stronger letter they can write. However, never let this stop you from applying—if you need, for example, a current faculty member who has only known you for a few months, that’s okay. Just ask—and
provide that person with an updated CV. <b>Tip: I recommend having a short meeting with your letter writers to explain the opportunity and give them some insights into you and why you are well suited for the opportunity—this will help them write a stronger
