Admissions, and how to start your application journey part 1
" College admissions is the hunger games mmorpg 17 year old children play in which they role play as ceos, philanthropists and lincoln douglas debate enthusiasts "
First, start with building up your college list: what colleges you want to apply to?
1. Get to know yourself, put together a list of wants and must-haves
2. Compile the BIG college list (10-20 colleges)
3. Research, narrow down your college list (8-15 colleges)
4. Categorize, prioritize your college list (6-10 colleges)
Second, it is time to work on your application. The cornerstone of any good college app is GOOD ACADEMICS.
Your SAT score is also a large factor in your college application: the SAT is a reading, writing and math test that is used to determine which human being is better than another ( joke ).
SAT scores help colleges compare students from different high schools. Your scores show your strengths and readiness for college work. But remember standardized test scores are just one part of your college application, along with grades, course rigor, and recommendations.
Besides doing well in academics students nowadays also have to pretend give a shit about helping people.
Your volunteer experience shows that you can get along with others, make a commitment, and that you have the attitudes and skills employers want in a potential employee. Employers will also be able to see that you can manage your time and complete your tasks.
Extracurriculars: unfun activities students do for the sole purpose of looking good for college. If you want to look best for college you will need to pick the most unfun extracurriculars. The easiest way to do this is by picking the activities adults do not do in their free time.
What Are the Best Extracurriculars for College?
1. Leadership Work and Positions
2. Part-Time Jobs
3. Sports and Athletic Participation
4. Academic Clubs and Teams
5. Artistic and Creative Pursuits
6. Volunteering and Community Service
7. Internships
Part 2 coming soon...
