Application Process
Ever wonder what happens once you submit your application? Does a group of suited judges look over every detail and stamp either "Accepted" or "Rejected" on it? Do you think names might just be drawn from a hat?
The truth lies somewhere in between. Each college has its own review process, but in general your application will be evaluated based on your:
- Test scores.
- Class rank.
- Academic record.
- Classes completed
- Grades achieved
- Extracurricular activities.
- Work and volunteer experience.
- Honors and awards.
- Essay.
Wait! What? An essay? Yes, some college applications require an essay. You might need to address a specific topic or simply write why you want to attend this particular school. Find out how to write an effective application essay.
