Writing Strategy FAQ

Quick clarifications for the questions applicants most often misunderstand and reviewers are most likely to test.

Why not write every strong point in every document?

Because repetition wastes space and can make the application feel unfocused. Each component should add a different kind of evidence.

Does writing strategy replace drafting?

No. It makes drafting easier by clarifying what the draft needs to prove before sentences are generated or revised.
