Applications
United States
A college application is part of the competitive college admissions
system. Admissions departments usually require students to complete
an application for admission that generally consists of academic
records, personal essays (as well as samples of high school work),
letters of recommendation, and a list of extracurricular activities.
Some schools require the SAT or ACT, while others make it optional.
Deadlines for admission applications are established and published
by each college or university.
Most college bound students receive application assistance and
advice from their high school guidance counselor. Students who are
transferring from a community college to a four-year college obtain
guidance from their college counselor. Applicants might also choose
to retain the services of an independent consultant (a.k.a.
Education Consultant, College Admissions Counselor, or Educational
Planner) to assist them in selecting and obtaining admission to the
college that best suits their needs and goals.
United Kingdom
Almost all British universities are members of UCAS, a clearing
house for undergraduate admissions. Applicants submit a single
application for up to 5 courses at different universities. There is
a maximum limit of 4 choices for medicine, dentistry and veterinary
science courses.
The application also includes current and expected qualifications,
employment, criminal history, a personal statement, and a reference
(which generally includes predicted grades if the applicant is still
in education).
Additional forms are required for application to Oxbridge. One can
only apply to a particular college at Oxford or Cambridge in a
single year. Many Oxbridge applicants are assessed through academic
interviews and sometimes further testing.
"Gaming" the college application process
In 2006, the Boston Globe reported that business schools were
concerned about a growing problem with applications prepared with
the help of consultants. The consultants, for fees of $50 to $3000,
promise to increase an applicant's chances of acceptance by coaching
or assisting with the writing of applications. One consultant was
quoted as saying "The schools refuse to admit [it] but the fact is,
if you know the schools, there's a real formula..." The consultant
went on to say that admissions officers at Harvard look for
applicants' leadership experience and ability to work through
others, Stanford is keen on personal revelations, family dynamics,
and identity politics, while Wharton rewards applicants who tell
admissions committees in personal terms why Wharton—and not the
other schools—is the perfect fit for them.
The Globe characterized admissions officials as "rankled" by such
statements, and director of MBA admissions at Wharton indicate that
coaching can work against an applicant: "Sometimes you read an essay
and you lose a sense of who the individual is because the essay is
overpolished." Harvard has responded by requiring all applicants to
sign a pledge attesting that their application is "my own, honest
statement," and requiring applicants to give permission to Harvard
to contact all persons named in the application for verification
purposes. The article says that the three business schools recently
began using private investigators to verify the work experience
listed in all their candidates' applications.
