Dear Rachel,

Great job taking the initiative and getting involved in the college planning process so early! First things first, take a deep breath! Standardized testing can be extremely stressful, but luckily you can take it as many times as you want. Just like with basketball, practice makes perfect. Dedicate some time each day to completing a few practice problems. As your confidence builds, your nerves will fade.

As far as your community involvement goes, it is extremely impressive to be a participant in so many extracurriculars AND make the honor roll! It may not seem like much to you, but juggling these activities speaks volumes for your time management skills. It is important that you reflect on your community involvement and how it has shaped you as a person throughout your applications. A great opportunity for this is in your essay and short answer portions. Instead of focusing on impressing the admissions board, focus on being yourself and conveying your character. Also, it would be great if you could have people who view you in two different settings speak on your behalf to truly show your full personality. After all, keep in mind that this information isn't found on your resume or transcript!

You are going to do great! I hope this has helped! Feel free to sign up for my course or book a session with me for more guidance.

There is often a lot of pressure associated with standardized testing. Minimize stress by ensuring you are taking the test right for you. Here are some tips for deciding between the two:

📝 Check to see which test the college prefers.
📝 Know yourself as a test taker- do you need extended time for questions? Are you more math or language-oriented?
📝 Practice makes perfect- when in doubt, do a test run of both! You won't know until you try.

Your application is already impressive as is, but locking in a strong letter of recommendation will only make your application stand out that much more! Here are some tips to guarantee your letter is a success:

📝 Choose carefully: choose a teacher or authoritative figure who has watched your dedication, work ethic, and growth, and can provide specific, qualified examples of what makes you exceptional.

📝 Stay ahead of schedule: you want to make sure your reference has time to reflect and give your letter the proper amount of time and energy, so ask them at least one month before the deadline.

📝 Simplify the process: tell your reference how to submit their letter, give them a copy of your transcript and resume, follow up a week before the letter is due, and most importantly, be sure to thank them!

📝 Know the requirements: if a college requires more than one letter, consider choosing a person who knows you in a different setting and can speak on your behalf in new ways and spotlight different qualities of yours to truly uncover your character.
