Hi, Cynthia~ This is Rosa, an individual college counselor in China (graduated from Emory)~ Becky's book is really informative and it will help a lot of Chinese students and parents to understand the actual process of college application and admission in the U.S. I am wondering if it is possible to connect with Becky to maybe translate the book into Chinese. I know it is a far reach:)

I hope admissions officers remember that most learned remotely for 18 months and could not take part in extracurriculars or volunteering during that time. Even when things slowly reopened, some had to think about vulnerable family members living with them. Not every student had a choice.

I'm sure dealing with admissions at Ivy League level has it's own challenges, but for the most part these schools have it made. Every school district in the country has kids applying to your school. Every kid with a 100% GPA or higher and near perfect test scores has been told "you're so smart you should go to Harvard" all their lives. You get 50,000 applications, need to admit only 2,000 so you've got 10,000 or more utterly qualified to attend. Wading through them must be tedious, but it also must be like a kid in a candy store. You almost can't go wrong.

We just can't afford it, which was a very disappointing and painful thing to realized once we crunched the numbers. He has a goal now to go to the local state university and apply to Dartmouth for graduate school. Fingers crossed that works out for him. I'll save this video and send it to him when he starts thinking about applying to Graduate schools. Really helpful info on admissions, thank you so much.

@stt5v2002 2 года назад

She seems so nice for a person who has destroyed the dreams of innumerable young students. On the serious side though, I hear this same speech in all of the college admission videos I run across. They always use the same vague platitudes about "do what you are interested in" or "don't try to construct the perfect application" or "find a good fit for you." None of it rings true. The applicant wants to get into the school. That's why he or she is applying. It's not some journey of self discovery. It is a process with a binary outcome and only one outcome has any value. No one is applying to Harvard because they are curious about what the admissions committee thinks of them. They are applying because they want to get into Harvard. "Do what you are interested in" is only good advice if that happens to be exactly what the admissions officer wants to see in an accepted applicant. Everyone knows this, and I don't see the point of pretending otherwise. Here is some real admissions advice. If you want to get into school X, find out what the successful applicants to school X did and do that. Get the grades they got, get the scores they got, exhibit the qualities that they exhibited, and write an essay like the one they wrote. Its feels lame, I know. No one wants to feel like they are an assembly line product. But this is the best strategy by far. Do not forget that luck plays a role. There are sometimes 10 or more rejections per admission. Do you really think that only one out of ten applicants is clearly and always the best? Do you really think the process is that precise or organized? The truth is that on Monday admissions officer Green rejects strong applicant John, on Thursday admissions officer Grey accepts equally strong applicant Jim, and on alternate Fridays admissions officer Orange is in such a good mood that he accepts someone with a much lower than average GPA.

@kristinanance7100 2 года назад

No, they can tell when you are just checking boxes. I've worked in higher ed for years. You are giving terrible advice, really. Obviously students should to do well in classes and get a SAT score in a given school's typical range, but almost 90% of the applicants will have the similiar grades and scores. What she is telling you is to actually get involved with things **you like** outside of class, be a real person and not a machine off an assembly line. I can not tell you how many applicants are the captain of some team and/or head of student government because that's what they think gets them in an elite school, and they end up looking like a clone of the rest of the applicant pool. It's one thing if you are really passionate about it because that tends to come through, but if not... nobody wants to admit those kids. They don't even know who they are and when they get to an elite school, you're not even sure if they can handle the transition from being top dog to being average in a sea of high achievers becaus they have no motivaton to be there besides chasing prestige. Plus, these schools have their own unique cultures, after the grades they are looking for personalities who are actually good fits, and they can't judge that without getting a sense of who you really are. Box checkers are the worst, don't be that kid.

@stt5v2002 2 года назад

@@kristinanance7100 I’m not talking about checking boxes. I’m talking about strategy. The best strategy is not “just be yourself” because you probably aren’t what the admissions committee wants. The best strategy is “present yourself as someone the committee wants, to the greatest extent possible.” It’s absurd to believe that the committee can really know much about you. They have almost no information and almost no time to evaluate what little they have. As recent scandals have demonstrated, they don’t even know if you are actually participating on their own school’s athletic teams or if you took your own ACT. I’m not suggesting lying. I am suggesting targeting and tailoring your applications. Choose activities and projects that have a better chance of working for you. If I wanted to get into Harvard and I knew that they accepted 87% of people who are good at table tennis, I would be practicing table tennis today. This is the mindset. You do what is working for people, not whatever cute idea you came up with on your own.

Well done. Great questions and direct answers. I am sure applicants are burnt out and skim the supplemental questions.

@edwardb7811 2 года назад

Alumni interviewers are given almost no info on the applicant, so provide plenty of info. They seek evidence that you are prepared for college, can contribute in academics and extracurriculars, can benefit from what the college has to offer, and have good character traits such as integrity, diligence, tolerance, enthusiasm, curiosity, and resourcefulness. You should be very familiar with the college. It's a really bad sign if you answer "Why Podunk?" by saying only that it's a good school or has a lot of prestige. Most colleges have detailed websites. If you haven't done the research, you don't come across as very motivated or prepared. Lastly, most interviewers aren't trying to trick you with gotcha questions. They just want to get evidence to back up their eventual written conclusion of whether you are a strong, weak, or indifferent candidate. Before they even meet you, they really hope you will be an outstanding applicant whom they can confidently and cogently recommend to their alma mater. Help them prove it.

@edwardb7811 2 года назад

@@mister369 Everything counts towards the admission process. The admissions department people do read the interview report. Some have commented that it may make the applicant seemingly emerge as a person rather than as a GPA or SAT number. The admissions departments make a real effort to recruit alumni interviewers, an effort I doubt they'd make if they didn't care. Many colleges receive far more well qualified applicants than they can possibly admit. After eliminating unqualified applicants and admitting the water walkers, the admissions reviewers engage in discussions over relatively minor details that may have jumped out from the interviewers' reports. I can imagine that few great interviews overcome a bad record or that few lousy interviews undermine a stellar high school performance, but I still think applicants should go all out to do their best on their interviews.

@mister369 2 года назад

@@edwardb7811 the interviews count, but their importance is insignificant compared to essays, test scores, etc, partially because the interviewer is only looking for positive qualities in the interviewee.

So different from the UK in the 60/70s when you could leave school at 14. The school system was so rigorous that there was virtually no one still left in grade 12 to apply. Your standardised test grades, ie A levels, then decided the university you went to The school system itself was the selection process.

@andreaweber8059 2 года назад

We do not usually leave school at 14 in Germany (at least not nowadays) but the rest is as you said. Our grades at Abitur (comparative to A-Levels) decide which subjects we can study at which universities, and that is that. Usually no extracurriculars, essays or recommendations required. Exceptions are subjects like music, performing arts and Art, there you will usually have to have extra exams to get in or hand in some work.
