Does the high school I go to matter for college?
For college admissions, or what happens when you actually get to college?For college admissions themselves, really doesn’t matter. College admissions counselors take the school’s resources and average abilities into account. If you come from an under performing school that lacks AP classes, you don’t have to worry. But, if you come from a high-performing school, you will need to put in work. You have plenty of resources and good teachers at your disposal. This boon of resources must show as academic and extracurricular performance. You will have to perform at a high level, relative to your classmates, and much higher than the average student from across the country. But, as you have more resources available, this shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.After you get into college, the school does matter. You see, you will be competing with students from all over the country, with varying amounts of preparation. Kids from places like Philips Exeter, with dozens of AP classes under their belts? Yep. Kids who’ve taken half a dozen dual enrollment classes? Yep. There are a lot of different high schools in the US alone. Different schools prepare students for college to a differing degree. If you are from an under performing school, you will be at a disadvantage in college, due to your (presumed) lack of sufficient preparation.For college admissions, not really. For college classes themselves, definitely.
Does notebook size matter in college?
If you're not using a letter-sized notebook or binder, you should carry a few sheets of letter-sized paper with you in case you have to do an in-class exercise on your own paper. It's hard to keep track of a pile of paper of various sizes, and whoever grades the exercise is not going to want to deal with smaller paper. If you're turning in an assignment, it should be on standard letter-sized paper. But the details of how you take and organize notes are entirely up to you. You can use whatever size paper you like. You can use construction paper if it works for you. You can write your notes with a highlighter pen. You can take your notes in cuneiform on clay tablets. Your call.
Does size of college admission decision letter still matter?
Stanford and the majority of other colleges today send their decision notifications electronically. Usually, accepted applicants later receive a packet of information with an official letter in the mail, but since they've already been notified of the decision, the size of envelope doesn't have the same significance as in the past. Characters in TV shows and movies still get a large envelope from colleges when they've been accepted and a small one when they've been rejected for the same reason that they still get messages left on answering machines; it's a way to exposit narrative to the viewer. Most us know what the size of the envelope means in regards to college admission, so a lot can be relayed in one shot without the need for dialogue. Similarly, when a character is receiving a phone call with a message pertinent to the plot line they'll sometimes have it left on answering machines so the audience can hear it. The size of the envelope doesn't covey as much drama in real life anymore. ~ skylark : ) Edit Wow, Ashley! I got in early action to my first-choice college, so I didn't apply elsewhere. I'm not as experienced with receiving the decisions as your daughter. It's great she got into so many colleges. : ) As stated above, I know colleges send packets with the official letter in the mail later on, but believed (I guess mistakingly!) that most today first notified applicants of their decisions electronically. Therefore, the size of the envelope wouldn't reveal anything that hadn't already been communicated. That's the case with the three colleges mentioned in this question. Harvard gives applicants the option of receiving their admissions decision by email or by letter, but almost everyone chooses email because it is faster. Yale has you create an account on Eli after you've applied, and they post the admissions decisions there. Stanford sends the notifications electronically. Everyone already knows their fate before opening their mailbox. I do see how sending letters would probably lessen the potential for huge gaffes like when UCSD sent out like 28,000 acceptance emails to rejected applicants by mistake a few years ago. Yikes. You learn something new everyday. Now you're gonna tell me that most people are still using answering machines, and I'll have to throw that theory out the window too, haha.

For midfielders in collage lacrosse, does size matter?
First of all, yes, size does matter when you play college lacrosse but it isn't really a deciding factor on whether you get recruited or not. It does not hurt you to be a 6'3 205lb midfielder but thats not to say the smaller kids do either. You can't do anything for your height, your gonna be as tall as your destined to be so theres nothing you can do there. As far as weight goes, lift a lot. You want to be mostly muscle and the weight will depend on how tall you are and what sort of body frame you have. Most importantly is just work on your skills. Be able to throw and shoot on the run both lefty and righty, work on your dodges. Work on everything that goes with the game of lacrosse, even defense for you middies who everyone knows hate playing d. If you have the skill colleges will notice you whether its D1 2 or 3. When you get to college, that is when you will start getting bigger. But know before you go in, if you end up being only like 5'7 thats gonna limit a lot of looks you may have gotten from D1 schools, not entirely but you may not get the attention you deserve. Also for how big you need to be, I am a senior in high school and committed to play D1 lacrosse in the fall. The college that I am going to is sending me to prep school for a year in order to put on 10-15 more pounds of muscle. Granted, not all schools get to send kids to prep schools, only the military academies are allowed, but you could even consider doing a prep year on your own to get bigger. And for the NLL, since it's pro lacrosse, size matters a lot more than in college. Also, your stick skills have to be ridiculous to play in the NLL.
Does class size really matter?
People didn't need to know much in the 50's to get a job in a factory, the times are changing and the curriculum is much harder than in years past mostly to prepare people for college, which was far more rare in the past than it is now.
Does the ranking of your high school matter to college admissions?
A few years ago some journalists from The Guardian were allowed to sit in on the admissions decisions committee at Churchill College, Cambridge for Natural Sciences (NatSci) admissions. Their reports did not name any of the applicants, but otherwise it was pretty unvarnished reporting of the discussions. Some applicants were super bright and unanimously admitted. Some were not good enough and were unanimously rejected. Most of the discussion focussed on the applicants in the middle near the borderline.One of the things that was most interesting to me was a comment that came up several times about various candidates, who appeared to be bright but who were from a school which didn’t provide an academically challenging environment, and whether they would be able to cope if they were admitted to Cambridge (Cambridge is a particularly intense environment - especially for NatSci - with its highly intensive 8 week terms). A number of candidates were rejected because, although they seemed bright enough, the admissions committee didn’t think they would be able to cope with the dramatic increase in workload and academic pressure. With no sense of irony the committee thought it was doing those students a favour by rejecting them (and for all I know, they were right - they’ve been doing this for a while).I was certainly a little startled to read that for two reasons. Firstly, that it happens at all; and secondly, that they are sufficiently comfortable with that to say it repeatedly in front of a journalist. But it fits with the profile of admissions at Oxbridge. A relatively small number of highly intense schools produce a disproportionately large number of Oxbridge students (I think Westminster College is famous for just under half of its students getting admitted to Oxbridge every year).The other thing that was apparent was that the admissions committee took glowing references from very intense academic schools much more seriously than they took references from schools who rarely saw Oxbridge calibre students. Which makes sense - a headmaster who has sent the university many excellent students before is probably a better judge of who would be an excellent candidate than one who has no real experience.EDIT: I found a link to the article itself: So who is good enough to get into Cambridge?
