Eugene+Admissions+Essay

As an admissions officer I rank the TEARS the following way. First, recommendations because it gives the teachers a chance to explain a students high and low pionts of there motives. Second activities, for the fact that it shows your extra curricular activities and programs you participated in. Third, SAT's because it shows that you on a level that you can participate in college. Then i would put transcripts last. i think its less important because its just giving basic information. Then transcripts because it provides the grades you have earned in four years.

In reading William Santos's application I noticed that he had an upward trend on his transcript. However, his attendance was really poor. His essay does not have a hook as well as answer the real question. William Santos has participated 5 activities through out his high school years. In all of those activities he mainly was only a member but in one which was "Inno-Zine" which he took his senior year he was the founder. His Recommendation is not delightful. The teacher does not say anything about his strengths and weaknesses. There is no faint praise, the teachers doesnt really give a lot of details on Mr Santos. Regarding his SAT's scores they are not the best but they are OK. In critical reading he scored a 600, in Math he scored 620, and in writing he scored 650. When it came down to it all, the sat scores is above above average.

While reading Jasmine Dukes application i realized that he transcript is actually very well. She is passing all of classes but not just passing. Her attendance is actually excellent. From reading her essay i noticed it isn't very well. It doesn't it answer the "question"perfect but she does have perfect spelling/grammar. Another thing i noticed was she participated in a lot of activities through out the whole four years.She joined her church choir by being the script reader for 11th grade year and 12th grade year. She also joined in an internship, as well as children's museum for science. Jasmines recommendation letter is outstanding. The counselor gets on the point that jasmine has been a hard worker, in school and for the community. The counselor also states what Jasmine does but what it says about her. apparently Her SAT's grade Isn't so great. She failed critical reading with a 400, passed math with 520, and failed writing with a 450. Jasmine is not even at just passing.

When began reading Kayla Serrano's application i noticed her attendance is very very well. her grades are okay but is just passing. her essay is almost as good as her grades. She has a good introduction/hook.She also has a great essay and she has perfect spelling. Jasmine didnt really take place in a lot of programs. She went and took jamming cares club her 9th grade year as well as walk younger brother to school each morning as an community program, and worked in dunkin donuts. Jasmine's Recommendation is a good thing to see. The counselor speaks about her character and a challenge she overcame. The recommendation also elaborated on her strengths. Her SAT's scores aren't the best though. She failed critical reading with a 400, just passed math with a 520, and failed writing with a 410.

After reading Roman Polanco's transcript i realized he has a bad deal when it comes to his attendance and lateness. even though his attendance isn't the best he has an upward trend with his grades. Then i read his essay and thought it was brilliant. He has hook, and it answer "the question". He participated in a couple of of clubs. For example Adjjyde me! Portuguese club with ester and innovation cares. His essay was "OK". The counselor does give him Faint Praise in his recommendation, and elaborates on his strength. Roman's SAT scores weren't the best. HE failed critical reading with 450, math with 490, and writing with a 470.
