Download or read book College Admissions Trade Secrets written by Andrew Allen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True or False: Princeton's Director of Admissions hacked into Yale's secured admissions website to find out who Yale had accepted and rejected. Boston College's average SAT score is up to 1370 and Boston University's average SAT score is up to 1320. Carnegie Mellon offers spots on a priority wait-list to students who send in cash and most of these students get admitted. Well, it's all true. An FBI investigation traced Yale's hacked website back to the computer of Princeton's Director of Admissions, Stephen LeMenager. Boston College's average SAT score is the same as Cornell's and close to Penn's (both Ivies). Carnegie Mellon does have a "priority" wait-list-it costs $400 to be on it and the admissions rate is 95%. Welcome to the circus. Dazed and Confused. Students see the college list published by their high school's guidance department listing every acceptance and rejection from the prior year. Next to each entry is a GPA, a SAT score and the number of AP classes taken. The list is usually ordered from highest to lowest GPA. The first entry: 4.19 (unweighted), 1430 SAT, 7 AP classes, Princeton-rejected, Yale-rejected, Harvard-rejected, Stanford-rejected, Columbia-rejected, Vassar-accepted. Ouch. Scan down the list looking for Yale. Did anyone get into Yale last year? Down at the ninth entry: 3.93, 1450 SAT, 6 AP classes, Brown-accepted, Yale-accepted, Georgetown-accepted. Okay, anyone else? Scan down to the twenty-second entry: 3.88, 1560 SAT, 7 AP classes, Yale-accepted, Duke-accepted, William and Mary-rejected. This doesn't make any sense, thinks the student. Many of the students with the best grades didn't get into any top colleges and still others were rejected at colleges ranked lower than the colleges to which they were accepted. Welcome to the world of college admissions. Ever wondered what a private counselor tells an Upper East Side family for $10,000? The secrets are in College Admissions Trade Secrets. College Admissions Trade Secrets is a straight forward guide to: Top 7 Lies Colleges Tell The Real Scoop Behind Acceptance Rates Things That Really Matter When Comparing Colleges How to Write a Great Essay and Prep for a Great Interview Common Mistakes that Result in Rejection Last Minute Tips for Seniors A Scandalous Examination of Harvard's Course Catalogue, Penn's View Book, and NYU's Faculty How Anyone Can Avoid Being in the Pool of Applicants with the Lowest Acceptance Rate

Download or read book Yes You Can written by Arthur G. Affleck, III and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “YES YOU CAN—Finish High School and go to College” is a book about possibility. At its best it seeks to motivate, inspire and empower young people to achieve their goal of going to college. This book will be useful and helpful to any student, but it will be especially useful to those students who have what it takes to finish high school and go to college but who may be experiencing doubts and lack of motivation. The first chapter is titled “Why you must go to college.” It makes a strong argument that “any young person wishing to retain the slimmest hope of financial security or even a decent standard of living must get some form of education or training beyond high school.” The book opens with a quote from Dorothy J. Hulst which says in part “there are efforts and results and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result . . .” I truly believe that dreams can come true and goals can be achieved. In fact, I know that any young person can finish high school and go to college, if that is what they truly desire to do and if they are willing to make some sacrifices and do the work. I know that this is possible because there are those of us who faced significant life challenges and who had similar fears and yet we persisted and succeeded. With the help of family, friends and many caring adults we finished high school, enrolled in college and managed to graduate. It can happen for young people today as well. They really don’t know what they are capable of until they commit themselves to a goal and begin working towards its fulfillment. In the United States, the richest country in the world, over one million students drop out of high school each and every year! Retired General Colin Powell, founder of America’s Promise Alliance said this state of affairs “is more than a problem, it’s a catastrophe.” This book is, in part, my small attempt to help to change the odds of students dropping out of high school by getting them to think about the consequences of their actions. Today we know that "the number one predictor of a young person’s future success is whether they graduate from high school.” And for those who go on to college they will earn a million dollars more than the average high school graduate during their lifetime. A college education is even more important today as we see major problems in the U.S. economy. In 2008, over 700,000 Americans lost their jobs. Many of these jobs went to workers in other countries like India and China. More job losses are projected for 2009. In recent months, major banks and other financial institutions have failed or had to be rescued by the Federal Government. Across the country many American families have lost their homes to foreclosure. I share these facts to underscore the point that young people and adults simply must have some marketable skills to have any chance of getting and keeping a job and making a decent wage in this rapidly changing economy. So, it is vitally important that teens give themselves a chance in life by finishing high school and by going to college. They can do it and this book will help.

Download or read book English Learners Access to Postsecondary Education written by Yasuko Kanno and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a public high school, despite having resources and educators with good intentions, end up graduating English learners (ELs) without preparing them for college and career? This book answers this question through a longitudinal ethnographic case study of a diverse high school in Pennsylvania. The author takes the reader on a journey with seven EL students through their last two years of high school, exploring how and why none of them reached the postsecondary destinations they originally aspired to. This book provides a sobering look into the systemic undereducation of high school ELs and the role of high schools in limiting their postsecondary options.
