Are out of state schools worth it? I get homesick easily but there are better schools outside of where I live...
The schools I'm interested in are mainly out of state, and on opposite sides of the country (from where I live). I hear that a majority of people stay within 5 hrs of their hometown. #distance #school #college-admissions

How much do standardized tests matter in the college application process?
I would consider myself decently smart, but not when it comes to standardized tests. I appreciate tests that my teachers make because if I am proficient in the topic, the grade will show. Standardized tests like, the AP exams, the SAT, and the Regents exams in New York are extremely stressful and are not an accurate representation of who I am as a student. I still do well, but not as well as I would like. #college #college-admissions

What kind of medical-related jobs are med schools looking for?
I hope to go to medical school after I graduate. I know there is a lot that medical schools want to see on your application even before you apply. I have heard from some other med students that you need to have some form of job experience or volunteer experience in a hospital with patients. I don't know what jobs they prefer to see or how to get exceptional experience. Any advice? Recommendations? #medicine #medschool #jobexperience #doctor #med-school #admissions #college-admissions
Do I have a realistic chance of making Notre Dame with the following credentials: 4.3 weighted GPA, 1450 SAT score, NHS member, founder of a volunteer program at my high school, varsity cross country runner and wrestler, no trouble in a year and a half?
I have wanted to go to Notre Dame since I was a young boy. I understand that I may not have given enough information, but I want to have a better rough understanding of my chances of getting into Notre Dame. I think that I have about a 1/3 chance of making it. #college #college-admissions #college-admissions #college-selection #college-bound

Does my ethnic background play a role in whether or not I get accepted?
I am asking about ethnicity because I am a white, female, however, I have Cherokee Indian on my grandfather's side of the family. I have no idea how to prove it; or what route to take.

I am a student who is going to an out of state university and my expected family contribution is $0. I am committed to going to this college, but if I could waive some fees such as enrollments, housing application, orientation that would relieve some of the financial burden #college #college-admissions #college-advice #financial-planning
Do students from private or public schools have a high chance of getting into selective colleges?
I'm considering transfering out of my high school, a private high school, but I am wondering if it will hurt me later on. I want to be homeschooled and get my education through an online high school to graduate early. But will that affect my chances of getting into a very selective school such as NYU, Cornell, or Columbia University? Will kids graduating from a non-online school have a better shot at admissions then I will? #homeschool #private school #college-admissions #college
Will these college classes work during admissions?
In my high school it is not required to take a foreign language class to graduate, so as I am ending my junior year I have never taken any. Unfortunately, most colleges I want to apply to require two years of a foreign language to apply. There is a dual credit program between my high school and a local community college. At the community college they have both a French 1 and French 2 course. The only issue is, they cram it in and each course is only a semester long. Will this work as the two-year requirement for admissions since it two levels of the language or am I out of luck? As a senior next year, is there anything I can do to get these two years? #college-admissions #requirements #foreign-languages
Should I reach for Ivy League schools?
I'm first-generation and minority with parents that don't speak English. If I were to reach for such advanced institution, I will be promising a better future for my descendants... right? Do I really want to overwhelm myself in High School in an attempt to get accepted to one of these schools? Is it worth it? Or should I go to a smaller school and relax a bit more during my teenage years? #college #college-admissions

How many hours of classes should I take per semester?
I am working on enrolling, and I will be a full-time student. I want to take as many gen-ed classes as I can to get them out of the way, but how many hours would you recommend I take?

Why don't admissions officers tell students why they were rejected?
I have been receiving my college acceptance (and sadly, rejection) letters lately. I understand that admission officers have to read literally thousands of applications but it hurts to not know why you weren't selected for their school. There are students out there getting rejected by their dream schools without any form of closure. I know life goes on and you forget about it but sometimes you can't help but wonder. It helps for future reference and it can lead to self-improvement. All it takes it someone to honestly tell you. #why #collegeacceptance #collegerejection #college-admissions #admissions #admissionofficers #help
How important are AP scores?
I'm a junior that's currently enrolled in 4 AP classes and planning to take tests for each of these classes and one more. However, I don't feel fully prepared for all of the tests, and I'm required by my school to take them for GPA points. Will I be hurt by poor scores? #testing #ap-tests #college-admissions
On my college application, can I list things I accomplished prior to high school?
I am going to apply for colleges by the end of the year. I have a lot of things I can talk about prior to high school because I was an immigrant and I did a lot back then in another country. I hope I can put those on my college application so then the people can understand me more. #college #college-admissions #college-advice #college-recruiting ##collegeapplication
