Let's talk about how to FAIL to get into universities in the US.

1.Below - 2.0 GPA

GPA - Grade Point Average - is considered very important for admissions committee when deciding which applicant to accept. While you can still find extremely limited number of universities, if not none which accept GPA below 2.0, there is a slim chance of you getting the maximum scholarship package available to you.

2. Poor Personal Statement

The second most important aspect of your application would probably be your personal statement where you are able to narrate your own thoughts and deliver your important message to a reader. Most of the times, applicants usually exaggerate their strengths, believing that they would be a TICKET to their university acceptance. This is obviously an oversimplified concept rooted deep down in our mind. Although there is no a single way to write a stellar essay, meaning that everyone has their unique stories to tell, failing to reflect on occasions, experiences and feelings as accurately as possible might end up with you eating rejection letters. Remember, you should aim for emotional aspect of your essay; in other words, don't throw away words for the sake of word limit, do spice your essay up with emotions, background identities and how to back them up with your values.
