What if some colleges don’t even consider the level of an applicant’s interest, according to their Common Data Set?
@LotusPremierEducation Ай бұрын
Thank you so much for watching our channel and for your question! It’s up to each applicant how much effort they prefer to place into their application. Demonstrating interest is usually a positive whether it’s tracked or not.

HS only has 10 APs (and 3 are in the arts) so 7 actually core AP classes. None are available as a freshman. Where or how can I let the colleges know this. The high school report simply says, "10 AP classes are offered at LHS"
@LotusPremierEducation Ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment! Most schools do not offer AP classes to freshman. They will primarily be comparing how your overall course load compares to your high school's overall course load.

How do you get the trends from the previous year if the most recent CDS from schools is the from the HS class of 2023 and the CDS for the hs Class of 2024 doesn't come out until January (after the date most people are applying). I don't see it posted on any school's websites yet, nor is the CDS out yet. Thanks.

Are they REALLY looking to see if you open the email? They have the bandwidth to determine that. And if they do, what does that look like in the actual admissions committee. Does someone hold up a document and it says, "Suzy visited on 4/15, she did an interview on 4/19, and opened 90% of the emails we sent." They have the bandwidth and the manpower to actually track that for thousands of students?

Hello! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching this video. Yes, they do have the bandwidth for this. The way each college uses the data varies from school to school but your school counselor or independent educational consultant should be able to provide more information on the process. Good luck!

Do colleges really care about what APs you take your senior year? I took 0 APs sophomore year, 5 my junior year, and am taking 5 my senior year including Calc BC, but I'm scared that they will think I'm not challenging myself since my school allows you to take 2 APs your sophomore year. Will this hurt my chances? (Also I had all A's in the APs junior yr)

Thank you so much for watching our channel and for your comment! It sounds like you have a strong academic record - congratulations! There are several factors that go into this question including your increase in rigor over time, your personalized class trajectory, and how you will be evaluated against your overall school profile. Both factors should be considered in a holistic admissions review (your classes and rigor senior year and how much you took advantage of what your school has to offer). Of course, if there are circumstances you need to explain, you can write about them in the additional information section, but make sure to show it to your school counselor and/or a trusted educational professional just as you would the other parts of your application. We hope this helps! Good luck!

8:54 that last part is really true, my AP Gov teacher tracks where students at my school got in each year and i found a lot of trends. Among the top students (roughly top 25ish), getting into UCLA/Berkeley was pretty easy, USC was also relatively attainable, and one interesting thing I saw if almost every other year a kid would get into stanford (granted they usually top 5 or higher)

Hello, thanks for your video. If my kid targets colleges that state 2 yrs of world language requirement would suffice (like UT Austin, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, Urbana Champaign, MIT etc.,) then is it necessary for 4 yrs of doing language? Despite what they state, would they consider 4yrs of language to be plus? My kid is a Freshman in 3rd year of Spanish and is debating whether to go for 4th yr or not. Thanks in advance.
@LotusPremierEducation 8 ай бұрын
The general answer is they would consider more years a plus, but it does depend school to school. He should absolutely take at least one more year if he is still a freshman, even if he is in his third year. It's best to get as close as possible to "maxing out" the language levels at your school. And if you do replace a language, make sure it is with a class that fits your child's narrative.

@LotusPremierEducation 8 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question! There is definitely a benefit to starting on the Honors track early. It will not be negative if he needs to drop down, but it may warrant a quick explanation in the additional information section.
