The
Reality of College Admissions
College
applications continue to increase each year. As a result, the acceptance rates
at the most selective schools continue to drop. Many schools are reporting that
their acceptance rates are now at record lows.
One of the
biggest mistakes most college applicants make is assuming that grades and
standardized test scores (the SAT, ACT, advanced placements, etc.) are the only
things that really matter. These applicants never learn that the admissions
committees care about many other factors as well and, hence they do not spend
adequate time on the essays, letters of reference, admissions interviews and
other parts of their applications.
The result
is unfortunately predictable. These high school seniors invest a huge amount of
effort on their grades/rankings, test scores, and extracurricular activities and
largely overlook several other parts of their candidacies that are of great
importance to the admissions committees at the selective colleges.
Why else do
you think so many high school valedictorians with perfect 1600 SAT scores are
routinely rejected by all of the ivy league schools?
The
Need for a College Admissions Consultant
You are
about to make some of the biggest decisions in your life:
-
The
selection of colleges to which you apply,
-
The
admissions strategy you will pursue to optimize your chances of success and,
ultimately,
-
Where
you will receive your college degree.
What an
Admissions Consultant can do for you
School selection
A good
admissions consultant will help you select the schools that are best suited to
your unique needs and interests. Roughly 50% of all college freshmen will drop
out of school or transfer to a different school to finish their college
educations. In the vast majority of these cases, the primary cause of the drop
out is a bad fit between the student and the college.
Admissions strategy
formulation
Your
admissions consultant should have the admissions knowledge and experience to
help you formulate an admissions strategy that will highlight your unique
strengths and negate -- or at least mitigate -- your particular weaknesses.
Admission is part science and part art. Be sure your consultant can tailor a
custom strategy for you.
Application assistance
Your
consultant should help you brainstorm for essay and personal statement topics,
provide guidance on how to approach recommenders and what information should be
included in the letters of reference, review your essays and personal statements
for content as well as grammar, look over your applications before they are submitted to your
top-choice colleges, prepare you for your admissions interviews, and help you go
over your admissions and financial aid options after you have received the
schools' decisions.
Scholarship
essays
These
essays are very important and can have significant implications on your family's
financial outlook. A good consultant will help you construct an essay topic and
proof and polish the draft.
