Do everything as its laid out for you, if someone offers good advice take it. Don't stress over acceptance. Keep preparing physically even after the CFA worst case scenario you come out fitter and stronger than before acceptance or not. Communicate, and communicate some more with your RC, FFR, and nomination sources. Work on your ACT and take it every available time and study your heart out for it. Don't let yourself get discouraged by something along the way. Do everything as fast and perfectly as possible. Learn to interview well and ask for any advice on improving you file from your RC and FFR. Stick with it to the end. That's all I have
