1. Spell Woodie's name right.
2. The small word count is intentional - the reviewers want to see students who can communicate their ideas clearly and concisely.
3. Look for and eliminate repetition.
4. Avoid "fluff". Make sure you pack maximum content into each sentence.
5. When out of other options, look at your prioritized list of topics you wanted to include and cut back topics from the bottom of the list.
