How do I ace the "tell me about yourself" question in a college admission interview?
"Tell me about yourself?" I believe this is the most crucial question of an interview. Usually the first question, this question sets the sails for an interview. That means, depending upon your response to this question the interviewer frames his next questions. Thus, this question is an opportunity for you to steer the interviewer into your areas of strength. Therefore, your answer to this question should attempt to highlight your achievements/strengths positively before the interviewer.This question is also an opportunity for creating a good, first impression. Recruiters spend hours during the recruitment cycle. They end up listening to the same bland responses to their questions from most participants. And, that's why this question gives you an opportunity to differentiate from others. So, kindly avoid cliches! It's no harm being cliched, but it's always advantageous to be creative (not in an eccentric way though). So, use this question to show your creativity. It will keep them hooked to you.Last, but not the least, have a smile on your face while you answer this question.Use these ingredients in your interviews to frame a decent response.Hope this helps!
Does being black really help you in the college admissions process?
It helps quite a bit. Your Gpa is a little lacking but your act is pretty good. A 2005 study by Princeton sociologists Thomas J. Espenshade and Chang Y. Chung compared the effects of affirmative action on racial and special groups at three highly selective private research universities. The data from the study represent admissions disadvantage and advantage in terms of SAT points (on the old 1600-point scale): Blacks: +230 Hispanics: +185 Asians: –50 Recruited athletes: +200 Legacies (children of alumni): +160

How similar are the admissions processes at colleges? How are they different?
At HPYSM the admissions processes are very similar. Although the technical aspects of how you apply may differ, I won't delve into those things. How MIT is different from the other institutions:Primarily an engineering school so they have a different pool of applicantsThey don't care too much for legacy status, this stays might even hinder your chances of admissions unlike the other institutionsSimilaritiesAll of the above institutions have a holistic admissions approach. Meaning they value ALL components of he application and if one component isn't strong it is possible to offset that weakness, so long as the other components are strong.Declaring your major has NO effect on whether or not you get into the university Interviews, if available, is strongly recommended. Very few of the admitted students have not done an interview.Value the components in this order: Essay/interview, extra curriculars, standardized test scores, GPAAll the schools have an initial phase where they determine if an applicant has the potential to remain in the institution.Although some of the technical aspects may differ, the entire process is very similar in all of these top institutions. Generally students with top scores and stellar EC's gain admittance; however, people with lower scores and a virtuoso for a certain activity get in due the admissions process.

What's "College Admissions Assistance"?
They are a private company which wants to sell you "counseling" services to help you get into college. Ignore them. They should not send you a bill and if they do, you should ignore it. They make their money from people who sign contacts with them, not by trying to steal from people who ignore them. They don't want to go to jail. Have nothing to do with them. You will probably get better advice on this board, and you may feel free to email questions to me (check my 52% top answer credential). I help students for free as community service now that I am retired. I never send anyone a bill. All I want is the satisfaction of helping people online and by email. I also critique admissions essays without charge, but please email me for instructions before sending an essay, if you choose to send one. They found your name and address on lists of high school students that are sold by companies which use various data bases to compile this info. Best wishes.
Is college application process that stressful ?
Try not to stress out so much...it's not that bad. Start the application process early to lower your stress-level. Some colleges have an "early action" option that will allow you to get all of your documents in early and get a decision by Christmas-time. Others have a "rolling admissions" policy, which means that as soon as your documents are recieved, you will recieve an admissions decision (within a couple weeks) by mail. Normally as long as you meet their minimum GPA and test score requirements and get everything in on time, you will be accepted. It's also important to apply early so that you can compare all of your financial aid options. Apply for any scholarship, no matter how little it is worth...any amount will help! Don't be afraid to ask for counselor for help with scholarships, that's what he's there for! It's his job to help you. Fill out the FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov) anytime after January 1st of your senior year so you can possibly get some free money and apply for loans if you need them.Take the SAT or ACT over again if you feel that your score could be improved. Put aside a little time each day to work on your applications and essays so you don't end up waiting till the last minute and have to do everything in a hurry, thus inducing even MORE stress upon yourself. Make the most of your senior year. It goes by fast. Keep your grades up, because they DO still matter, and a drop in your GPA may lose you a scholarship. Good luck! Feel free to message me if you need any further advice. :)
What is the application process like at Marist College?
I have not been rejected nor accepted yet, but regardless as someone who applied undergrad for the Class of 2022, it was very simple. I went for Early Action and they required the basics most colleges want. (transcripts, sat scores, recommendation, etc.) They are test optional so that is always attractive. They thankfully did not require anything extra like an essay on how much you love the school. Had they done so, I most definitely would have missed the early action deadline and might have to had go Regular Decision.I believe Marist was also the school I sent my application 10 minutes after the 12 o’clock deadline (though it could have been another school) and if so, it is mad cool how they still accepted it even though a 10 minute late application probably means jack in the long run. Regardless, it is very easy and convienet. Too bad there application fee is not $0, so only apply if you are genuinly considering the place.
What is the college application process?
I'm a junior now, and I guess you can say I'm in a hurry to become a senior and start applying to colleges. So I want to know how does it go? I know everything is electronic now, so I'll have to do everything online. What kinds of questions do they ask? What essay topics do they give? What is then common app and are there any other applications I have to fill out? How do they compare? What specific things are collehes/universities looking for in my application. How would I go about sending in things like recommendation letters and stuff to the schools I want to go to? How do I get my SAT scores to the school I'm applying to? And lastly how long does it usually take to hear back from colleges?
College Application Process?
Go to the admissions /apply web page for the schools and it will either send you to theirs to fill out or sent you to the common application. That is how you know. anything above a 1000 on the SAT is good. Remember colleges are looking for well rounded individuals. Colleges don't require you to have good vocabulary but its a given that you should. Or everyone will seriously think you are dumb and don't belong there. The world is a harsh place, just warning you now. But don't be scared. Don't forget to look for the supplimental forms the different colleges want. For example with the Common app they ask for four forms to be printed and then filled out and mailed to the college.
