The "Formula" To Get Into Great Colleges
Переглядів 2,5 тис.5 місяців тому
What’s the "formula" for getting into a great college? Admissions will tell you: There is no formula. Just be yourself. And we’ll decide if you seem like a good fit. That’s a bad answer. Because if that was true, then their whole process would be subjective. And it’s not. They train every admission reader to apply the same objective criteria to judge you through a manual that describes how to r...

    I’d say it all depends on how coherent the stories are and how unique your poem is. Applicants should focus more on honesty, and presenting unique aspects of their lives and connecting the whole application.

    Here's my thinking: In an ideal world: It would be great for you to have at least your Common App (Awards, Activities, Personal Essay, Additional Info) and 1-3 full supplemental applications for your top three colleges all done before senior year starts. 1. Your first semester senior grades can matter a lot. I know a Brown AO who called a student right before Early Decision results asking for current grades. So, you want to be focused on senior year work, not writing college essays. And enjoying senior year. (He had all As and got in.) 2. But your summer before senior year is important too. You want to max out your time focused on your activities. And for some of your essays, you'll want to talk about these most recent experiences. So, you'll need to be flexible. Your summer experience may be so important it becomes the heart of your personal essay. 3. Once you have your CommonApp and 1-3 supplementals done, you can repurpose a lot of that polished writing for other apps. So, you should be in good shape. 4. But many colleges don't release apps until late summer? You can expect most colleges to ask the same questions as last year. Even if they make changes, that writing will serve you well. 5. But if it helps, you'll want to write essays that address these five big topics: (1) What do you want to study? (2) Why our college? (3) Most important extracurricular? (4) Most important intellectual experience? (5) How do you bring a diverse perspective to campus? So, you can work off of last year's prompts or just start writing on those topics. So when should you start? I'd give yourself one full month off after a tough junior year. Recharge. Start your summer plans. And then get some writing going in July. Then get zeroed-in around August. (Subject to the many different start dates for back-to-school.) One bonus point: I'd start with your Activities page. That writing matters and it's hard to get to 150 characters. But that exercise will help you focus on the most important things you've done--and that's usually a good place to start when thinking what you should write about in your essays. #collegeadmissions #collegeapps #commonapp

    Hi I bought the course and love it but on Reddit there was one admission officer advising that essays aren’t as vital as many think they are. As a reason he gave that they only write 2 sentences and give to the jury But watching your videos, essays are probably the most vital part right ? Thanks

  • @Admitium

    Here's how most college essays sound when answering this hard question: "What do you want to study and why at our school?" "I want to study molecular bio at Northwestern because you have very unique courses that perfectly match my interests. Prof. Redmond's course on "Molecular Bio" lines up perfectly and I'd love to take Prof. Short's class on "Biology of Aging." I plan on joining your student org X and volunteering at your center on Y and doing research on Z. Northwestern is just the perfect fit for me to study molecular bio." I'm not exaggerating much. Most essays sound like some version of that. That essay isn't just bad, it hurts your chances of admission. So what could you do instead? How about you take the time to follow what's happening at Northwestern. Maybe you subscribe to their department newsletter or read their student paper. News like the article in my reel. And you don't wait until Oct. 31 or Dec. 31 to look for it. You start now. So when you write that hard essay in a few months, you educate your AO on some specific information like that in the article that demonstrates you really do know about their program, etc. (Of course we need to say other things--like *why* you find aging and bio so important and interesting and worth studying.) And this isn't some hack to game the system. The truth is you actually do know about Northwestern and what might make it "unique" and a "fit" because you've done the work. This is just one of many ideas. But you see why that's a much more compelling (part) of answer than the standard one above.

    Agree? Three interesting data points: 1. Stanford viewed all eight Ivies as peers. 2. Columbia + Princeton don’t view Stanford as a peer. 3. Stanford only viewed two non-Ivies as peers: Hopkins and MIT. This is a super cool tool that Jacquelyn Elias put together with the @chronicleofhighered. Go check out your school.
