How to Gain Admission to America鈥檚 Top Universities Published: 13.12.2008 | Author: brucehymanson | Category: Other
By: Mimi Doe and Dr. Michele Hernandez, Cofounders of Application Boot Camp庐
Admission to top U.S. colleges and universities has never been more difficult.
Harvard broke all records in 2008, accepting just 7.1 percent of applicants, while Yale accepted 8.3 percent, Columbia 10 percent, and Princeton 9.3 percent. Brown and Dartmouth accepted 13 percent and 13.2 percent, respectively. Williams Steven Gerrard England Jersey , Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Amherst Colleges accepted 16.3 percent, 18.4 percent, 18.3 percent, and 14.2 respectively. Swarthmore College granted admission to a record-low 15 percent, while the University of Pennsylvania admitted 16.4 percent. Boston College admitted a record-low 26 percent of applicants, and Duke reported record selectivity admitting 19 percent. The overall Ivy acceptance rate this past year was 12% — again, an all time low. For students applying from India the odds are even lower.
With Harvard and Princeton dropping early decisionaction and Harvard, Dartmouth Gary Cahill England Jersey , Swarthmore and Tufts announcing expansions of financial aid in recent months, the pool of applicants for the Ivy League and other top schools is overwhelmed with qualified students and as a consequence, this year was the lowest ever in terms of acceptances. We don’t see this trend changing any time soon with a population bubble increasing the number of teenagers and more and more highly credentialed students applying. This year there are 3.23 million graduating U.S. high school seniors, and 60-65% of them now apply to colleges. The swelling population of 18-year-olds will peak in 2009, when the largest group of high school seniors in the nation’s history, 3.2 million, are to graduate. The early application information is already in and applications are up by 40% at some top schools.
All is not lost, however. Qualified students from India are being sought out by top Ivy League colleges and universities. Yale recently announced that it is intensifying efforts to recruit Indian students and create more faculty and student exchanges, research partnerships and leadership education.
Each year, as America鈥檚 leading college admissions experts Phil Jagielka England Jersey , we receive hundreds of emails a week from devastated high school seniors who did not receive the news they had hoped for in the college admissions journey. Many of them had high scores, great extras, and amazing grades. We also hear from younger high school students who are desperately seeking the secrets that will make them stand out amid the scores of other super qualified applicants. Our Application Boot Camp庐 workshops in Cambridge, Massachusetts (right next to Harvard University) fill up quickly with rising seniors who take part in our four day events to present themselves in the best possible light in their applications. The results for the students we’ve worked with have been astounding. But, we can’t work with everyone personally, so we created a product that duplicates what we do in the workshop — Application Boot Camp庐 Self Guided Program : http://www.ApplicationBootCampself. We made sure the product, including four audio tapes and a workbook, were available as an instant download for Indian students who are working on their January 1, 2009 U.S. applications. In fact, from now until January 1 Jack Wilshere England Jersey , 2009 we will give 10% off the price of this particular product. Just type in INDIA in the discount box.
We wanted to share our knowledge about what it takes to stand out and achieve success in the grueling Ivy League admissions process. We believe that knowledge is power! SO…to that end…to follow are some of our tips on what it takes to get into America’s top colleges. These coupled with a copy of Application Boot Camp庐 Self Guided Program should help qualified Indian students rise above the rest in the college admissions process:
1. Grades. This is one of the first areas a college admissions board will consider. Even if a student’s SAT scores are sky-high, high school grades, rank in class and rigor of courseload matter the most. A student who starts off strong but lets his grades lag in the final year, or vice versa, will have a hard time in the admissions process. Colleges want to see grades trend up in tough classes and students in the top 10% of their class. At Dartmouth College (one of the eight Ivy League schools) this year, for instance, 93.4 percent of accepted students ranked in the top 10 percent of their secondary school’s graduating class. Our students who have gotten into top colleges typically are A students who have taken 5-6 Advanced Placement classes.
2. Test scores. The SAT score is a big part of the admission’s picture because colleges report their freshman class averages to U.S. News and World Report. The biggest mistakes we see are students waiting until their senior year to take their first SAT test. Remember, colleges will see all of your SAT scores .
