What are the “secrets” to acceptance at top schools?
Getting into your Dream School
No matter what they say, no one can absolutely guarantee your acceptance into a top college, university, or prep school. Why? What they are looking for at any given time is subject to change—quickly. BUT—that doesn’t mean you can’t get accepted! You can optimize your application package to increase your chances. That’s where we come in! There are some key essentials to increasing your chances of acceptance.
Acceptance into most schools is a matter of putting together a sound application package with some additional key components to differentiate yourself from competing applicants. For elite schools however, the application process is not simple and admissions is not straightforward. Remember, the top students from all over the world are applying to the best of the top-tier schools—the Ivy League schools, MIT, Stanford, University of Chicago, et cetera. Those are “reach schools” for everyone—with very few exceptions. Each school looks for different things at different times depending on many competing factors: economics, public opinion, the political environment, legislative changes, faculty concerns, the current student population, and whatever the administration determines is best for the institution at the time. Based on these factors, schools search for students that will help them reach their current goals; they may have goals for diversity, research, academic standards, global or local influence, competitive sports and teams, community outreach, public relations, fundraising, or even business endeavors.
One part of creating an effective application package is having an understanding of what schools are currently seeking in new students. Another part is adhering to common sense goals such as good academics, focused extra-curriculars, volunteer work, and internships, and passionate, consistent pursuit of a goal.
