The top 13 things college admissions officers want to see

By Mandee Heller adlerSpecial to the BCR

Public high school stu-dents can get into the college of their dreams. All it takes is gumption, advanced planning and guidance. Students fre-quently want to know what colleges are looking for. The reality is, there is no one perfect com-bination. Colleges want a range of students to create a diverse campus community, so students need to present them-selves as a whole, show-ing off their own unique mix of qualities in the best way possible. As there isn’t one perfect combination, but rather may different ones, stu-dents should focus on the following:

1. Choose the right high school classes. Take classes that are a chal-lenge, including AP and IB, when possible. If a student takes classes that are all easy, this will not be very impressive. Stu-dents need to challenge themselves but not to the extent they are hurting themselves grade-wise. Students must also meet all high school course requirements for their chosen college and to meet statewide gradu-ation requirements in order to earn a diploma.

2. Get to know the college counselor. High school counselors can help students with their big picture planning for the future, including aca-demic advising, college planning and personal counseling. College coun-selors are also needed for the all important col-lege application letters of recommendation. Make an appointment to see a school counselor at least once each year, includ-ing freshman year. The goal is to try to build a relationship with the high school counselor during the four years of high school. During the meet-ing talk about interests and goals. The more the school counselor knows about a student, the more he or she can help. Many public school students do not know their advisor, being proactive will make a student stand out.

3. Keep the grades up. Make a commitment to work hard for the good grades. Students who find themselves falling behind should get help — before they fall too far behind. Grades count and schools look for students who have challenged them-selves and expressed a passion for learning. There is a classic ques-tion, is it better to get an A in a regular class

or a B in an AP class? The real answer is it is best to get an A in an AP class. For the majority of students, good grades are entirely necessary to get into a good school. Schools are looking for a positive pattern. In the best-case scenario, a student maintains good grades throughout his or her high school career. Though, if the grades started off badly and then improved, colleges give points for this. If grades are too low or show a steady decline, then a student is in real trouble. Spending a night study-ing while friends go out may not be exciting, but the path to college needs to be looked at with a long-term perspective.

4. Take standardized tests early. At most high-ly selective colleges, SAT or ACT tests are very important. The schools are looking to see if test score are consistent with — or exceed – a student’s high school performance. No student knows how high his or her score can go until the test results come in. But, if a student waits too long and does not get a desired score, there won’t be enough time to retake it. Many unexpected circumstanc-es can affect test scores on any given day, includ-ing the state of a student’s health. (It’s impossible to plan not to get food poi-soning.) Taking the test early will also allow time to take a test prep course if necessary. Most stu-dents take the SAT and-or ACT at least twice and improve their score the second time they take it. Students must also make sure to schedule test days for the SAT Subject Tests. Most students take Sub-ject Tests toward the end of junior year or at the beginning of senior year. The best time to take the tests is as soon as pos-sible after completing the course in the subject.

5. Do your homework and try hard. No matter what the class, even one with a loathsome teacher and boring subject mat-ter, students need to do their homework, try hard, and behave. Keep the eyes on the prize: college. Plus, teachers are where college recommen-dation letters come from so you want to impress them.

6. Engage in the right mix of extracurricular activities. Admissions officers are looking for commitment and impact in a student’s activities. It is better to be highly involved in one to three activities and-or sports over a number of years,

than less involved in many activities. Anyone can join 10 clubs and be marginally involved in them all. Schools are looking for a student to demonstrate the will-ingness to stick with something and make the most of it. Schools are not so interested in hear-ing about passions; they want to see them proven! Once a student finds the activities he or she wants to focus on, the next step is to work on becoming a leader or to demonstrate initiative.

7. Take the college application seriously. Students need to make sure they put time and effort into every part of the college applica-tion, from the essay to the resume. The college essay gives admissions officers the opportunity to know who a student is and how that student might contribute to the college campus. It also gives the admissions team a chance to learn something about a stu-dent that they won’t find elsewhere in the applica-tion. Admissions teams tend to prefer thought-ful, authentic essays that show real interests and passions combined with complicated thinking and good writing. Extracurric-ular activities should be carefully written so a stu-dent can best highlight all of his or her accomplish-ments and experience. The best recommenda-tions come from indi-viduals who really know the student. They should offer detailed information and-or personal stories about the applicant that back up the information on the application.

8. Do the research. Know what the choices are when it comes to colleges. This way any coulda, shoulda, woulda regrets can be avoided later in life. Research could be as simple as vis-iting a school’s website. Students should also try to attend college fairs, meet with admissions experts when they visit, and go on college visits.

9. Maximize sum-mer opportunities. High school students who want to stand out on their col-lege applications should consider the summer an ideal time to add some resume gold. Good choic-es include attending a summer enrichment pro-gram, taking a summer job or internship, partici-pating in volunteer work, taking virtual classes, attending a dual enroll-ment program, or taking classes at a local college.

10. Develop any spe-cial talents or abilities.

Students who do some-thing extraordinarily well do gain an edge in the col-lege admissions process. A special talent or ability can be anything includ-ing performing or visual arts, athletics, science, math, speech & debate, or writing. Colleges will look for evidence of a stu-dent’s accomplishments through recognition from others (i.e. awards, schol-arships). They may also look for significant contri-butions that show the stu-dent’s depth of commit-ment and follow-through. (i.e. newspaper articles).

11. Get help as need-ed. Students who are having trouble with aca-demics or other issues, or need college guidance, should seek help. It is not hard to ask, though some students do find it difficult. Adults who are in a position to help may not know if a student is struggling, if no help is requested. Parents, teachers, expert indepen-dent college advisors can all help the process.

12. Make smart deci-sions. Say no to alcohol, drugs and embarrassing usage of social media. Don’t text and drive or drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. One dumb mistake can ruin a student’s life.

13. Banish the self-doubt. Fear of failure and doubting personal abili-ties only hold students back from achieving what they want to achieve. Just say no to these thoughts and others like them.

Different admissions directors seek different things. Some colleges look for students who are well-rounded, with a wide assortment of extracur-ricular activities, others give preference to those who have displayed a sus-tained passion for some-thing. Be the best you, you can be.
