you're competing for one of... four, maybe six spots? Assuming the program has shown up on everyone's radar by now, could be one of the most competitive programs in the industry.

i normally just have my boss proof read them. it helps that she comes from another field so i can modify all the BS that i wrote and simply, if needed. Or have someone that at least writes or a living (articles, blogs, newspapers) - they always bring something to the table.
