As an admissions officer i rank the T.E.A.R.S the following way. I look at the transcript to be the most important and to hold the most weight because how you look on paper can tell you about someone before you even meet them. I rank Activities next because activities can determine how you do in school. If you do to much to distract you out of school it can affect you in school. Recommendations come next because what people think and say truthfully about you. If you have a down to earth truthful recommendation, people will judge you based on this. A recommendation can always be backed up with facts. I then look at the essay next because it shows how the student would describe themselves. It also gives an inside look into their lives. SAT scores are the last thing I look at because there is always more to a student then one test score. In the case of William Santos, his transcript is below many standards. He has been late and absent way too many times. Because of his lateness and absence, he has poor grades but as the bad attendance decreased his grades increase. This shows he has potential to be a good student. The upward trend boost his chances of acceptance. His activity log is very sparse. He was very inactive. He played soccer in ninth grade then quit. We don't know the reason for the lack of activities. It could be lack of activities given or he could have not done anything because of absences.His Recommendation was very honest and could be backed up. We can see the upward trend and a promising future. Williams counselor shows how he can be a superstar student. William's essay was horrible. It was probably a last minute thing that had no effort put in to it. William's SAT scores were above average. We see that he can be a bright young man he needs to put that effort in the class room. Jasmine Duke has a decent transcript. Her attendance is excellent. She has a total of one lateness all four years of high school. She has good grades that have steady through out high shcool.
