My OCD kicked in. This is a list that I compiled from the "Instructions for Applicants. . ." document and extrapolations from past posts on this forum.
Please add your thoughts and suggested items--revise and edit away!!
Sounds silly, but I'm a bit confused on the socks. How may to bring and what type.
What's missing? Hope this helps everyone!
