I didn't do anything special to get into TowsonJul 23 2007Psychology
I didn't do anything special to get into Towson than from other schools. But some advice for applying is to have good letters of recommendation from teachers. Ask teachers who can write out about you on a personal level rather than on a generic level. Have a strong personal statement. Schools like well-rounded students; those who are strong academically and also involved in extracurricular activities.
