Fear looms every year for those fateful students who take the leap toward further post-

high school studies: “the admissions process”. Questions such as “How can I compete?”

and “Why is this application so long” are among the most popular. These are similar

questions to the ones I asked when applying to undergraduate study.

Low-and-behold high school senior Tejasvi Gowda has provided an impressive article

about the admissions process itself. In his article, linked below, he lists the five things

that he wishes that he had known when applying to colleges. Briefly, he outlines the

importance of note taking during school tours coupled with well-written resumes,

required essays, and SAT scores. Overall, he stresses that fully understanding the school

you are applying to will greatly increase the likelihood of making a good impression

through your application.

As college students, do you agree with Mr. Gowda’s points on the admissions process?

Was the process as stressful as you expected? Or are schools just becoming more

competitive thus accepting fewer qualified applicants?
