***************************************************************************************Some Tips for Taking a STRESS-FREE ACT!

As many of you are concluding your college entrance exam testing, here are some tips to get you through the process STRESS-FREE!

SKIP ANSWERS you do not know initially. However, on the ACT, remember you are not penalized for guessing, so be sure to bubble in a guess during the last five minutes of the test if you see you are going to run out of time and can’t return to the question.

TRUST YOURSELF; go with your first choice; don’t second guess yourself!

READ, READ, READ Reading daily is known to improve ACT scores in general. The more you read, the better you will do on the reading comprehension section.

ELIMINATE ANSWER CHOICES Many times you can find the correct answer by simply eliminating “nonsense” answers.

STOP AND CHECK YOUR ANSWERS Make sure you chose the BEST answer and marked it correctly on the answer sheet.

SHARE YOUR TIME Pace yourself as you do each section. Be aware of the number of questions of each section and the time allotted for the section.

FOCUS ON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Read the question carefully and completely. Do the same with the answers before beginning the selection process.

RUSHING ONLY HURTS YOU Take the time to figure out the correct answer

ENTER THE EXAM WITH CONFIDENCE Be confident that your high school curriculum choices have prepared you well for this test.

END BY REVIEWING If you finish early, review the section and the bubble sheet.

***************************************************************************************

HOW IS YOUR COLLEGE SEARCH COMING ALONG?

Have you applied for admission and sent the admission fee if there is one?

Have you asked the BHS Guidance Office to send your transcript, test scores, and current schedule?If you print an unofficial ACC transcript, bring it to the Guidance Office, and we will

mail it along with your BHS transcript!

Remember, a complete admissions file would contain the above items!

Don’t forget to apply for housing!

*************************************************************************************CRUNCH TIME DO’s and DON’Ts

www.cappex.com

Application deadlines are looming, and crunch time is here! During this time, there are lots of simple things you can do to help your chances of getting in. These are the small, detail tasks that many students forget. And after working so hard on the big stuff, like writing your essays, doing the small stuff, like proof-reading your essays, can seem like the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Before you send your application, you should do the following:

** Proofread essays and applications for grammar, not just spelling. “Your” and “you’re” are very different.

** Check neatness. Is your application legible?

** Sort carefully. Don’t send the letter explaining why you want to go to KU to KSU.

** Double check addresses. If your application doesn’t arrive at its destination, it doesn’t matter!

** Check contents. Make sure that each application has what is required, be it essays, letters ofrecommendation, or anything else.

***************************************************************************************COMMON COLLEGE APPLICATION MISTAKES

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS - A lot of mistakes can be easily avoided by following directions. All college applications may look the same, but read the directions carefully; they can be quite different. Keep a sharp look out for these stumbling blocks:

Submit the correct number of essays. If it says, “Choose one,” select only one of the suggested essay topics. If it says, “Complete all,” write an essay for every topic required.

If an essay question has more than one section, provide an answer for every part. Make sure that your responses answer the questions and that it’s clear which response goes with which answer.

Compute the grade point average according to instructions. Different schools use different methods for computing GPAs.

Be careful not to confuse “country” with “county”.

SINS OF OMISSION - If you have a tendency to be forgetful, double check and triple-check to make sure you have not forgotten anything. Create a checklist, then do a final review to see that you’ve included all required parts:

If you’ve written your essays on separate sheets of paper, don’t forget to include them in the application packet.

Don’t forget to sign your application or recommendation letter waiver.

Be sure to list your intended major. It you’re not sure, write undecided.

When a college asks for senior year classes, be sure to submit your classes for the entire year, not just the first semester.

GIVE THEM WHAT THEY’RE ASKING FOR - Read all the directions carefully. It can be easy to misunderstand what you’re being asked to provide. If you’re not sure what they mean or you’re confused by a certain question, ask. A quick call to the admissions office will save you from making an embarrassing error. And be sure to double check these common problem spots:

Include a permanent address. The address you use should be one that the college can contact you at during the entire admissions process.

If you’re asked what grade level you are entering, write down your year in school for the next academic year.

When you are asked to list your activities, don’t limit yourself to activities in high school, unless that is specified. Include work with community organizations, volunteer efforts, and part-time/full-time work.

For “nickname”, include your preferred name, if you have one (e.g. Jim instead of James). Don’t write in the names your friends use when they joke around with you (like Squid, Buster, etc.).

BLOOPERS and BLUNDERS - It helps to have other people (like your guidance counselor, teachers, or family members) look over your application to see if you’ve missed anything. Sometimes it’s the little things that hurt your chances for admission.

Use the spell checker on both the application and the essays. And double check the spelling of the name of the school you are applying to.

Don’t count on the spell checker alone. Just because something is spelled correctly, doesn’t mean it makes sense (e.g. “I no a lot about applying two college.).

Watch how you enter dates. A frequent error: Student lists the current year for their birthday (e.g. 12/7/17 instead of 12/7/01).

If you’re going to use some of your responses for more than one school, be sure to replace the name of the school with the correct one (e.g. In an application for the University of Kansas, don’t say, “ . . . and this is why I want to go to K-State.”.

It’s a good idea to complete a draft copy of the application before you start working on the original to avoid some of these mistakes. Your best bet for submitting a great application is to allow a lot of time to complete it. That will keep you from making these errors on your application as well as the worst mistake you can make: sending it after the deadline.

Finding Your College Fit

www.cappex.com

What is college fit? It's the idea that colleges are not one-size-fits-all. That some colleges are for you, and some just aren't. That instead of worrying about attending the "best" college, you should instead be looking for the best college for you personally — the one that has the perfect combination of elements that will let you thrive both academically and personally.

So forget rankings, ratings and what your parents and best friend have to say about the colleges you're considering. When it comes time to decide which college is the best fit for you, simply ask yourself the following questions:

Will I be satisfied academically?College is, after all, about furthering your education. A school is a good fit for you if it challenges you academically and offers degree programs and electives that interest you. But think, too, about what type of classroom environment you excel in, and choose a college that's a good match in terms of class size, access to faculty and overall teaching philosophy.

Will I be fulfilled personally?Your college career is about much more than the time you spend in the classroom. The activities and events you participate in and new interests you pursue round out your experience on campus and will likely be some of your most memorable moments from college. So look into what opportunities you'll have for non-academic pursuits, and make sure they match with what's important and rewarding to you.

Will I be happy socially?Check out the social scene at the college you're considering. Can you see yourself fitting into it? Think about how you're likely to make friends — through a Greek organization, athletics, or other campus organizations, events and traditions? Will you be surrounded by people with backgrounds similar to yours — and even some familiar faces from high school — or will you meet students from all walks of life and parts of the country? If you're excited by the prospect of the people you'll meet and the things you'll do together, the college is probably a good match for you socially.

Will I be at ease on campus? Everything from the size and location of a college to its political climate will affect how comfortable you are there. Many students thrive on a campus where they're a bit out of their element, while others prefer to stick with something more familiar. Decide what's best for you, and choose your college accordingly.

Ultimately, there is no magic formula for finding the right college fit. In fact, it's very likely you'll find several colleges that you can easily picture yourself attending. To decide between them, listen to your gut and rely on your instincts. But you should also learn as much as you can about each college you're considering, spend some quality time on each campus and talk to current students. With a realistic picture of what life is like on campus, you'll be as prepared as possible to decide if a college has what it takes to give you a happy and successful college career.

***************************************************************************************TEN WAYS TO RUIN YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATION

By Jay Matthews, Washington Post Staff Writer

Remember, these are things you should NOT do.

Rack up as many extra points as you can for “expressed interest” in your favorite colleges. This particular obsession was new to me. Connolly has encountered applicants who have inundated admissions offices with voice mails, e-mails, and snail mail because they have heard that colleges want concrete indications of interest and don’t think you can overdo it. Believe me, you can. “There is a fine line between showing adequate interest in the school and stalking,” Connolly said. “Unsolicited cakes, pies, cookies, sneakers (the old ‘one foot in the door’ trick), a life-sized statue of you holding an acceptance letter, or a painstakingly detailed scale model of the campus clock tower will not make up for a lackluster academic record.” When colleges look for “expressed interest”, that means they hope you will show up when their college reps visit your school, that you will visit their campuses and sign the visitor logs in the admissions offices, and that you will get your application in on time with no loose ends. If you have a legitimate question, they are happy to receive your e-mail or telephone call. Doing more than that just makes you look desperate, and a little scary.

Don’t worry about your postings on social networking sites - college admissions officers understand your need for individual expression and will probably never look at them. I know, I know. What you put on Facebook or MySpace is your private business. College officials appear to share that view. They say they do not make a habit of looking up their applicants. But there are enough exceptions to make me think care should be taken when posting photos on these sites. Not everybody loves you. Those who don’t could send anonymous notes to your first-choice school suggesting it inspect a certain web site. There are no rules that say they can’t.

When sending messages to admissions officers, the wilder the e-mail address the better. Here we are again with one of those First Amendment issues, but Connolly thinks - and I agree - that imsupersexy@(fill in the black).com is not a good idea. He says if you have not updated your personal address since the fifth grade, this might be a good time to do so!

College interviewers like jokes and exaggerations, so let fire. Dan, parent posting on Admissions 101, said his son blew his interview for the University of Pennsylvania by letting his sense of humor go too far. He told the interviewer, a woman, that if he got into Penn, he hoped to dump his dirty clothes on his aunt in Philadelphia since one of his personal goals was “to never have to do his own laundry.” I think this is a funny line. But the interviewer didn’t. Dan’s son didn’t realize how much this had hurt him until a cousin the same age, with the same last name, met with another Penn interviewer who asked pointedly if they were related and if he did his own laundry. The interviewer wasn’t smiling.

Load up your application with as many activities as you can think of and don’t mention anything that makes you look bad. Connolly said one student put on his application “I spend time lifting weights to improve my abs.” This is dumb. Colleges want to see two activities to which you have applied much energy and passion. They don’t want to see a lot of little stuff. The flip side of this stupid move, suppressing embarrassing or disturbing information, is trickier. One Admissions 101 participant who works at a selective college said one applicant had his letter of acceptance revoked when the college confirmed an anonymous tip that a teacher had caught him plagiarizing an assignment during his junior year of high school. The poster said it was not the original offense that did the applicant in, but the fact that he had not disclosed it in his application. An Admissions 101 participant who tutors college-bound high school students pointed out, however, that if the unfortunate applicant had disclosed the plagiarism, he most likely would not have been accepted any way. I think if an applicant has done something bad enough to threaten his chances, and anyone else knows about

it, it is best to disclose it, explain it, and if necessary, apologize for it. If the black mark is indelible, all is not lost. There are many state universities just as good as Yale or Princeton that don’t have the time to consider much of anything on your application but your grades and test scores.

Use your application essay to expand upon how great your grades, scores, and activities are. One college official on Admissions 101 said a common play is to waste the application essay by telling admissions officers things “we more or less know already or could figure out just from reading other parts of the application.” This is not only boring, but it leaves the impression that your grades, scores and extracurricular activities are all that is interesting about you. College officials will never say this out loud, but one purpose of the college essay is to weed out insufferable people whom no one would want as a roommate. One good strategy is to write about some lovable quirk that reveals a facet of your character and lets you use some self-deprecating humor, essential to any successful college application essay. I know one applicant who wrote about her ability to identify a song on the car radio after hearing just a couple of notes. It was trivial, but charming, and she got in.

Nobody knows you when you are touring a college, so if you want to wear a t-shirt from a rival university or make a cell phone call, go right ahead. This is another problem with which I was unfamiliar. I am not entirely convinced that it is an issue, but Connolly and other experts insist it can hurt you. They think tour guides in some cases have the names of the people in their tours and will report unseemly behavior. A college tour guide told Admissions 101 that his supervisors encouraged him to tell them about tour participants who did GOOD things, such as ask insightful questions. So, I suppose, bad news can also get back to the people who are deciding your fate.

Let your parents do whatever they need to do to help you get admitted. This is an oldie but goodie. Helicopter parents, always hovering, have become a part of modern American folklore. They exist, of course. Students who let Mom and Dad get too involved are likely to suffer. My favorite story comes from an admissions dean at Princeton who, when he inspected the little box on an application that certifies everything the applicant has written is the truth, found that the student’s mother had signed it.

Colleges are attuned to all the latest fads, so when e-mailing them, it is fine to use text message abbreviations. Connolly said, “OMG, this is annoying for us non-texters and IDK why students do this to us adults when we are not their BFF.”

Don’t proofread your application carefully and don’t bother to check to see if the envelope in which you placed the application or letter of recommendation for College A might actually have the address of College B. Connolly said I would be surprised how often application materials are sent to the wrong school. The best proof of genuine interest in a college is to send it all the material it requested in good order and on time. That is not so hard to do. We all have our moments of stupidity, which is why copy editing and proofreading are such honorable and indispensable activities.
