Should I apply to early admission even though I do not sufficient money to pay for the college and would rely heavily on financial aid?
I was wondering whether it is safe to apply to a college early admission even though I do not have sufficient money to pay for it. I don't want to be in a situation where I get to a college, can't afford it, so I have to take many loans. #college #financial-aid #application #early-action
When applying to colleges should I submit my resume, even if they do not require or ask for it?
I am a junior in high school currently working on updating my resume to reflect my academic and extracurricular activities/achievements. Since creating a resume is time-consuming, I thought it may be worthwhile to send to colleges so they will have a good idea of who I am as a student. #college #resume #application

What extracurricular experiences (beyond academics) do you believe were most beneficial in helping you prepare for and enter medical school?
I plan to apply for medical schools within the next 2 years and am curious as to what has been most helpful for others (in their personal opinion) to gain acceptance. I often hear that while grades and honors are important, there are many other things that admissions committees look for in an applicant. As a psychology student, I also wonder if extracurriculars will be even more important for me as I don't have as strong of a biology/chemistry background. #medicine #physician #medicine-school #extracurriculars #admissions #application #academic
Preparing for Medical School, what should I focus on the most?
I understand that grades, GPA, and test scores are extremely important when applying for medical school, or anything medical for that matter. I also know that they like to look at 'unique' characteristics that make the applicant stand out, like taking a different major than the generic ones. And I also know that they like to see a 'well-rounded' applicant- one who works and helps out with community service while studying. My question is: Which one is more important working or doing community service? Seeing as most of my time will be devoted to studying (and trying to keep a healthy lifestyle), I need to determine which is the most important to focus on. I'm just concerned that my application won't be impressive enough and will look, well, sad because of 'lack of effort'. #college #medicine #healthcare #application

Most Important Part to an Internship Application
I realize not all industries or jobs are alike, but I think it'd be worthwhile to ask. When applying to a summer internship and including my resume, cover letter, and letter of recommendation- which of these 3 do you find to be the most valuable/important? #internship #resume #job #application
Should I apply to a school that barely offers scholarship? Even if I have a decent change of getting in?
Rhode Island School of Design is one of my top schools that I'd like to attend. However, as they are a top art school of the country, they don't offer merit scholarships at all, only financial ones. Should I still apply anyway? I feel like I have a good chance of getting in, just not sure if I could attend because the tuition and board and everything is so expensive... #art-school #application #tuition

How important are clubs/extracurricular activities in comparison to coursework or internships??
Does joining clubs or extracurricular activities during your years as an undergraduate significantly impact your resume or chances at graduate school or is it better to keep that to a minimum and focus on getting work experience and taking a rigorous course load?? # #college #grad-school #graduate-school #veterinarian #vet-school #veterinary-school #application #resume #college-admissions #college-advice #job #internship

How do SAT and ACT scores influence how people look at you through application?
I normally do well in school in terms of my own courses and earned high grades for those courses, but I'm not a strong standardized test-taker. I'm afraid that if colleges look at my SAT and ACT scores, I might not get accepted to a very selective college. #college #application

How to introduce yourself to a professor you want to study under in *grad school*?
I will be applying to Psychology Ph.D. programs this fall, and I was wondering how best to introduce myself to PIs I want to work with. For example: - What should I include in an email? - What should I say about myself? What should I say about them? - What questions do I need to ask them? #psychology #college #graduate-school #grad-school #doctorate #phd #interview #research #graduate #application #interview
Do global internships benefit you when it comes to veterinary school applications??
I'm currently an undergraduate looking to apply to vet school in a few years. I know that having relevant experience is crucial, so I've been applying for lots of internships. I fond some summer opportunities abroad, but there are steep program fees and I'm wondering if entry into these would be more beneficial to my application since most revolve around research or wildlife rehabilitation with animals in a setting that may not be as readily available in the US. #internship #science #college #veterinary #job #admissions #veterinary-school #vet-school #veterinarian #research #global #grad-school #graduate-school #resume #application #work
Is it more beneficial to have unpaid internships and more of a variety of experience or paid work with strong connections, but not as much of a variety of experience??
I'm hoping to make my future applications to veterinary school as strong as possible and I'm wondering if paid work is given more consideration even if it isn't necessarily as varied as having multiple unpaid internships in a range of sub-fields. # #internship #volunteer #college #vet-school #veterinary-school #veterinarian #application #experience #resume
Would it be better to apply to a college with a business or a premedical interest?
I know it is possible to switch majors, so is one of these options more desirable to a college in an applicant? #college #college-major #college-admissions #application
What do colleges and universities look for in applicants?
I've always been told that you should be a "well-rounded" person if you want to get accepted to a good college, but that has never made sense to me. If I was a part of a college board I'd want students that excelled in a field that they are passionate about and would rather them be great in that area than be alright in every area. So what do they look for when considering who to accept into their schools? Thanks for any input and advice! #college #university #students #application #college-admissions
On college applications, should I include all of my community service, or should I just include the things that meant the most?
I am wondering if community service gets redundant after so much of it and then if it may be better for me to include all of it on my applications. Should I just include the most recent things, and the things that impacted me the most? #application #volunteer

With a busy after school schedule what are some things that stand out in college applications that are not school affiliated?
It's a well known fact that colleges look for many extracurricular activities while viewing an individual's application. At my school I am involved with the drama club and due to the intense schedule of productions, whenever I have free time in the year it is at an awkward time (only December, May, and June) and I cannot easily join clubs I had no affiliation with before. Seeing as I want to stand out on applications but cannot necessarily participate in clubs I want to, what sort of other activities also stick out to colleges? #college #extracurriculars #admissions #application #clubs
How do you apply for scholarships and grants?
I've been looking into scholarships (for high school students) and am having trouble finding ones that I can apply for. How can I find ones that I can apply for?Are there scholarships that will be offered to me instead of me having to find them? How do people normally get scholarships and grants? Thanks for any input and advice! In case it's important: I will be a junior in high school at the start of the next school year. #scholarships #application #grants
