What do you think? Less supps = beneficial to our kiddos? Here’s what becomes more important in the “shrinking supps” cycle…

🏃‍♀️Activity Lists- Showing your initiative, interests, and impact will be essential

🤩 Recommendation Letters - If kids can’t express who they are in supps, then counselors, teachers, and advisors will have to do the heavy lifting. Be sure to create a killer brag sheet (more on that in another post) that gives them all the juicy details to support your application goals.

🎥“Optional” Videos - Some colleges offer submission of 90-sec videos to give a “why” statement and show your personality

💯Test Scores - They’re making a comeback. Without supplements, standardized testing like SAT, ACT, and AP exams will be determining factors, even for test-optional schools.

The end of March means the last of the decisions are coming through in portals and emails. For those of you awaiting the last of your news, there will likely be a mix of celebrations and disappointments. However, it’s so important to take a moment and remember that YOU define you. No college or decision (good or bad) can do that for you.
