11 College and Social Media Social media can also hurt or help your chances of being recruited. According to a Pew Research Center report when doing new students recruiting: 87% of colleges use Facebook 76% of colleges use Twitter 63% of colleges use YouTube So what technology posts hurt your chances of getting into college? Illegal activity Photos of students drinking alcohol Plagiarism Vulgarity
12 Getting Started in the 9 th Grade Student Information Folder/Naviance Activities Resume Research Colleges At least ten Importance of grades The person most invested in academics should be the STUDENT Rigorous curriculum Take the most competitive courses you can and still perform well the strength of curriculum is typically the top factor for selective colleges and universities.

19 Top Admission Factors Grades in college preparatory courses Strength of curriculum Admissions tests Overall grades College Admission Factors from the National Association of College Admission Counseling
20 Tip Academic Factors Supplemental to the top factors and used to add content to the academic record. College Application College essay or writing sample An essay alone will not get you admitted to college, but little effort or questionable taste with the essays may keep you out Don t worry about finding the perfect topic there isn t one. Just tell a story straight from your heart A good essay isn t rocket science, just hard work. You may need to write ten drafts to get there Every thought, sentiment, piece of content, or expression in the essay must be the student s original work (College Admission, Hamlet and Vandevelde) An excerpt from a Yale application In the past candidates have used this space in great variety of ways There is no correct way to respond to this essay request No answer is wrong, but sloppy, general, insincere, or tasteless responses can hurt your cause Class rank college s decision Counselor recommendation Teacher recommendation
21 From College Executives: Write don t text. No matter your major of choice, having the skill to communicate effectively is critical. Take advantage of opportunities in high school to sharpen your communication skills. -Wheaton College Wheaton, Illinois
22 Student Interview Work Other Factors Volunteer (get involved) Application Meet deadlines Follow directions
23 NCAA National Collegiate Athletic Association Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse is the organization that determines whether prospective college athletes are eligible to play sports at NCAA Division I or Division II institutions. The student athlete's academic record, SAT or ACT scores, and amateur status are reviewed to ensure conformity with NCAA rules.
24 More on extra-curricular activities Remember the word is contributions not just a laundry list for essays or interviews ultimately the admissions officer will want to know what you will contribute to the college or university community and what you might contribute that another student might not. - Austin College Sherman, Texas
