As an admission officer, Tears is the most important thing in a college application. Tears stands for transcript, essays, activities, recommendations, and the SATS. The most important thing in college application is the essay, the transcript, and the recommendation has to be perfect to get in a good college. The least important for me is the SAT because it doesn't really mean anything because there will be other tests in your life and it shouldn't be the test that tells your future because you can still have a good life even though you fail the SAT.

When I looked at Roman Polanco application the grades was really bad in his fresh man and sophomore year but his grades was better in senior year and it was good that he had a upward trend. During his high school years he had pretty good regents scores and a below average score in the SAT. When I looked in his essay it talked about himself and the essay was bold and well written and there was no spelling and grammar issues. When I read his recommendation it was good because it talked about his high school year and how he worked hard and when he see's opportunities he takes advantage of it. In his freshman year his attendance was off in a bad start but when the years pass by his attendance was better.

When I saw William Santos transcript I was shocked because his grades was horrible. In his freshman year his grades was really bad but at the end of the year he had a little of a upward trend in his grades. William regents was excellent and so was his SAT they were above average. During his year in high school his attendance was bad and when the years passed his attendance got worse. William joined a lot of programs and he had 2 jobs at the Fanta's Hardware Shop, and the AMC movie theater. When I looked at William's essay it was horrible he only wrote a paragraph and it doesn't say anything about him, there's is no hook, no epiphany, and it doesn't talk about his growth. When I read his recommendation and the college counselor doesn't really know anything about him and they don't really think that William did his best but they believe that he would do good in college and I that this recommendation was fake at looking at his grades and attendance.

When I look at Jasmine Duke transcript it was excellent and there was no upward trend the grades stay the same and her attendance was excellent she was only absence once and late 12 times in her whole school year. Her regents was not that good in Global and English the other's were pretty good and Jasmine SAT was below average. Jasmine join 2 programs and had 2 jobs. Jasmine worked at Lawrence and Darby Jett and she worked at the Children's Museum for Science. When I looked at her essay it was not that good. Jasmine essay doesn't talk about her it only talks about her mom and how hard she works and that Jasmine want to get a job and repay her mom. I think that the essay was bad because it is suppose to talk about you and how you grew and why do we want you. When I look at her recommendation it was pretty good because it talks about how good she is and she took challenges, how hard working she is, and how impress they are by Jasmine work.

When I saw Kayla Serrano transcript it was bad in her freshman year but she had a upward trend in 12th grade. Kayla regents was bad in Global, English, and Science the other subjects she did excellent in. When I look at her attendance she was late only one time in her whole school year and no absence. Kayla SAT was pretty bad because they were below average and she only did okay on her math SAT. Kayla's essay was good but I think that she should of count how much words she wrote because the colleges won't read more then 500 words in your essay. When I look at her activities she did only 1 activities during her high school year she only did the jamming cares club and she worked at Dunking Donuts. When I looked at her recommendation it was good it talked about how good she was and it say's that she took what ever challenging classes whenever it was possible and she took college level classes at CUNY hunter college.

I would take Roman Polanco out of these 4 because he Roman did bad in his freshman year but during his high school year he had a upward trend. Roman's regent was okay. Roman's recommendation was pretty good because it talks about how good he is and he took opportunities that he had a chance to get. The most important reason I would take him is because of his essay, his essay was excellent how it talks about he activities and how he changed in his life and I think he would get in a college is because of his essay and i think that Roman would be good for this college is because of how mature he became during his past years.
