Tips that help you get into your top college

(InvestigatetV) The applications on the college rose from school year 2019-2020 to 2024-2025 according to Common app, a non-profit organization that is intended to rationalize the application process of the university application. But many families are still in the dark about which factors a student accepts.

Robert Farrington with the college investor said that it is absolutely true that some colleges look at the notes, clubs and activities of a student, follow many others a broader approach and assess a variety of factors to put together a diverse class that the goals corresponds to the school.

“And I think that many people ignore the fact that these schools have goals,” said Farrington. “And sometimes these goals include:” We try to build a program for science, mathematics and engineering. “Engineering Lab, and we want people who will use it. '”

According to Farrington, understanding the priorities of a school can give applicants an advantage in the approval process by enabling them to adapt their applications accordingly.

He suggested compiling a list of about seven to nine -interested schools.

“Three or four of them should really reach schools. And these are those who might be a bit unaffordable, ”he said. “But maybe you will get scholarships. They may be very competitive, but they hope to get in there. Then you should have about three or four schools where you can meet your adjustments as if you are seeing what school is looking for in terms of priorities. Your grades are exactly what you are looking for with students. And you can afford this school. “

Farrington said your child should also have two or three security schools on his list. And this is probably a local college or a local state college schools that are affordable and most have a very good chance of getting into it.

Farrington also said that schools also pursue applicants. Create a registration and register for the mailing list. You know whether applicants went on a campus tour and are interested in you.
