ADMISSION 101 …or, Macy’s advice for a happy college admission experience

Match.com, College Edition O ATTEND college-sponsored events O EXPLORE college websites O VISIT college campuses O TALK to current students and alumni O USE the resources provided by your school O DEVISE your list of “match” schools

Ask yourself…. O Would I be challenged academically here? O Could I thrive in this academic environment? O Could I contribute to the school, in and out of the classroom? O Do I feel a connection with the students? O Could I envision myself as a part of this community?

Take time to understand… O THE DEADLINES O Early, Regular, Rolling, Open O THE REQUIREMENTS O Transcript, Testing, Recs, Essays, Fee, Other O THE INSTRUCTIONS O Essay length and format, number of rec letters, etc.

Stop checking the boxes! O Understand the nature of selective admissions O Consider how you stand out O Think less about what we ask for and more about why we ask for it: O Have you challenged yourself academically? O Have you succeeded academically? O What do you contribute in the classroom? O What do you contribute outside of the classroom? O What type of person are you?
