ARE YOU UNIVERSITY READY?

WHAT ARE UNIVERSITIES LOOKING FOR IN A STUDENT

In addition to evaluating an academic fit, the admissions committee looks for ways a student may contribute to the community as a whole. The admission officer assesses the level and type of involvement in each activity and evaluates the student on the following aspects: Has the student been a significant contributor or leader? How has the involvement contributed to the school or larger community? Does the student have a special talent in a particular area?

The university does not expect all students to be team captains, class presidents, or editors-in-chief; rather, look for meaningful involvement in their school and/or community. The profile of students that apply to top-ranked universities is impressively created through OUT -OF-THE-BOX thinking and execution. The application allows students to list several different activities, it is crucial to do this with care and identify the most meaningful activities. It is noticed that some of the most successful applicants are heavily engaged in a few activities that were meaningfully concentrating on QUALITY RATHER THAN QUANTITY. When you select the activities to list, keep in mind to mention those which have had the maximum impact.

MEASURING APPLICATION

The application to the university is adjudged on several aspects. It is imperative to understand the evaluation system to identify your journey.

The application is considered in its entirety and not as separate sections. The admission officers strive to see the student's?ACHIEVEMENTS?and accomplishments as a complete picture and use individual sections as building blocks. After a diligent enquiry into every aspect of the application, the admissions team determines the prospects for admission and estimates the student offering to the university. Each section should thus, complement each other and create a?WHOLESOME?picture.?

While making an application to the university, evaluate each element of the application to ensure that the application reflects your TRUE SELF as a complete picture. You may display academic excellence through the grades and mark sheets, but the personality traits can be identified only through the activities that you check in, the Letter of Recommendation and your essays. Thus each of these elements holds a significant place in the application and demands leading care while making the application.?
