1 COLLEGE APPLICATION AND ESSAY WORKSHOP
2 WORKSHOP GOALS Smart, ambitious plans for applying to colleges this fall Tips and tricks to help you fill out college application forms and personal information Knowledge about how to write solid college essays that will stand out to admissions officers
3 APPLYING TO COLLEGE (An Overview)
4 APPLYING TO COLLEGE: AN OVERVIEW College applications can be complicated, confusing, inconsistent, subjective, and quite unpredictable You will likely get into schools you didn t expect to and not get into schools where you thought you were a shoe-in So what s your best ally in the process?
5 HOW DO I START? US News & World Report Yale Daily News Insider Guide to the Colleges Teachers, counselors, and friends College and university websites
6 FACTORS TO CONSIDER Is it urban/suburban/rural? (location/transportation) Is it private or public (tuition)? What academic programs and majors does it offer? (changing your mind) Special programs and opportunities (study abroad, internships, etc) Financial aid/scholarships (need blind? need aware?) Life as a student of color on campus (PWIs v. HBCUs)
7 OPTIONS! Don t let your main goal be something as simple as I want to go to Stanford. Let it be something more broad like: I want to go to a prestigious urban public research university that I choose from a list of several that have offered me admission. How do you do this? Apply to 9-12 colleges and universities
8 THE APPLICATION SPREAD Step One: Safety Schools (2-3) Step Two: Mid-range Schools (3-4) Step Three: Dream Schools (2-4)
9 TIPS Check application due dates NOW and check your calendar! Look for information about fee waivers and contact schools for more information!
10 APPLICATION TIMELINE State Schools: Early Fall, Rolling, etc. Ivy League & Liberal Arts: January 1 The Key: check with schools early!
11 ADMISSION Rolling or late spring (March May)
12 RESULTS If you write good essays and submit a good application, you will likely be admitted to at least one school in each category Options mean flexibility in visiting schools, taking a second look, and bargaining for a better aid package
13 MAKING THE DECISION Financial factors: aid package, grants v. loans, types of loans, scholarships, appeals (unsubsidized, subsidized, alternative, private) Admission Offer major/program, time of entry, special circumstances Prestige of School this matters less than how you feel the school suits you MOST IMPORTANT the vibe or feel that the school is the right fit for you
14 APPLICATIONS 101
15 APPLICATION COMPONENTS SAT/ACT Scores Transcripts Letters of Recommendation Common Application/College Application Essays & Personal Statements Portfolios, Photos, Extras (varies) Mid-Year/End-of-Year Reports In-Person Interviews (varies)
16 FINANCIAL AID COMPONENTS FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) CSS Profile (Private Schools) Your/Your Parents Tax Returns/Financial Information Bank Information College-specific information and forms
17 APPLICATIONS 101 Applications are more than just forms, they are extended résumés! Writing a good application makes your piece of paper stand out from the rest. When interviews are not part of the package, applications are all you have to show schools who are you beyond the SAT scores!
18 APPLICATION TIPS Clubs, Awards, Honors be specific, clear, and detailed (but keep it neat!) Don t assume admissions officers know what your school s specific clubs/awards mean Emphasize qualities like leadership, unique achievements, and things you started/created Find a way to explain any poor grades on your transcript and other circumstances you feel might affect your admission
19 LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION Ask them from people who know you and who you ve worked with not strangers or random teachers, counselors, or administrators Give your letter-writers plenty of time (at least two weeks a month is better) and ask them to save the letter (for other schools, apps) Don t ask for them from people who you think will write the letter poorly or include ANY negative content Don t ask Can you write me a letter of recommendation?, ask Can you write me a strong letter of recommendation
20 TYPES OF ESSAYS Personal statements Problems/conflicts Leadership & innovation Work samples Short answer questions
21 ESSAY TIPS Say what you want to say, and say it well: be clear, concise, and to the point Respect word limits and suggested lengths given to you by the school Proofread and edit your essays. Then do it again. Have family members and friends read it as well. Start early on your essays and be prepared to have two kinds: first, your golden essay, one you can tweak or use for several schools, and second, essays that answer specific questions used for particular schools
22 ESSAY TIPS (CONTINUED) Avoid clichés, sob stories, exaggerated stories, unclear or overly personal content Use the essays to explain any doubts or whatever you think the college wants to know Align your essay s content and purpose to the unique qualities/mission of the school Think of what the essay questions are REALLY asking of you
23 ESSAY 911 HELPLINE If you d like comments or editing help with a college/scholarship essay, please send a draft of your essay, along with the question or prompt from the relevant application, to <desiree.barron@tellurideassociation.org>, as far in advance of the deadline as possible. We recommend giving us at least a week to make sure you can send another draft if necessary
