A solid understanding of fit is critical to success in so many parts of the application process, including the essays and interviews, either one of which just may be stressing you at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like this episode, I\u2019d also like to recommend that you download our free guide,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/admissions_straight_talk\/p\/www.accepted.com\/hubfs\/Podcast_audio_files\/Podcast\/Encore_Linda_Abraham_Fit_in_Admissions_2019.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Fitting in and Standing Out: The Paradox at the Heart of Admissions<\/em><\/a>.
