__Comparative Essay__ As an admission officer I ranked the TEARS in this order: transcript, recommendations, activities, essay, the last thing is S.A.T's. I think transcript is most important because it has the record for the whole 4 years of the candidates time in high school. In the transcript it displays the students grades, Lateness, Absences, and S.A.T scores. The transcript helps determined if the student has a upward trend or not. So I personally give the transcript. The other part of the tears is most important is the recommendations. The recommendations include the Counselor to say whether or not the student is good enough to go to college or not. They supply and get this information from the transcript they have seen in order tell demonstrate the student is smart. What I also think is important is the activities you do. This matters because it demonstrates if the student was a founder or a leader and colleges love that. It proves to say if the student is trustworthy or not, if he or she just won't give up to achieve their goal. Colleges don't like people who aren't trustworthy and quit at the top of their " Game ". I think the essay is another important thing you have to worry about. Colleges want to see how much you have been listening and doing all of you're work in school. This is like a test to prepare you for college.The last thing is S.A.T's. I find the S.A.T's the least important because colleges could care less if you fail it or pass it, basically it doesn't matter, it doesn't decrease your chance into getting in/applying for a good college.

This student Roman Polanco transcript is a 2. He starts at 60's and 70's, he has an upward trend. Roman has been late almost 100 times total, no honors classes either. His essay is a 3. He could be a good leader. Not a great " hook ", he does show an epiphany, he has perfect spelling and grammar. Not a " Spaghetti Sauce " essay. For activities I'll give him a 4. He joined Innovation Cares in the 9th grade. He was a student ambassador for 4 years " Depth over Breadth ". For recommendations I give this a 3. Teachers says he may be a late bloomer but he would be good for college and accomplish his goals, He is trustworthy and a leader. He takes advantage of the opportunities that's given to him. For his S.A.T's I would give him a 3. His Creative Writing test he had gotten a 480, he got below average which the average point is 500. So in the this test he failed. In his Math S.A.T he got a 510. He passed this slightly above average. In Writing he scored a 490 in his test, he failed and was slightly below average. All of this in total is 15 points and divide it by 5, Roman Polanco's total grade average is a 3.

The next student is William Santos. For transcript I gave William a 2. He had terrible grades, didn't show an upward trend through the 4 years in high school. His grades were between the 60 and the 70's. As for his essay he has a 1. His essay is horrible, it isn't 500 words the least. He didn't have a " hook ", no epiphany and looked like a "spaghetti sauce" essay. For his activities he was a founder of the inno-zine/comic magazine, but also a member of the comic book club. The recommendations was barely acceptable; not the worst, but not great. The consular sound like he didn't want William to go to college, sound like if he were to go to college he would be wasting his time and money. His S.A.T's were good, got a 620 in creative writing, a 620 in math and a 650 in writing. He passed all of his S.A.T's above average. His points in total was a 12 then divide by 5 and his average is a 2.

The next student is Jasmine Duke. Her transcript is a 3. She has weakness in English and Science but great with all her other classes. Her essay is a 2. Her essay was good but it didn't answer the question and the question was to write an essay about herself about anything she did or seen. The essay was mostly about her mother and not her. Her activities is a 4. She did a "Depth", good amount of activities and done drama for 4 years straight. As for recommendations she's a good student, works hard coming from an immigrant family. Her S.A.T's scores were averaged, creative writing was low and so her writing, but her math test score was slightly above average. She has 20 points all together divide by 5 and her average would be a 3.

The final student Kaylah Seronto. Her transcript is looking very good not perfect, so it's a 4. Decent grades, she took challenging courses, great attendances, strong in math and Spanish. Her essay is looking great, she did a good job, it had a good "hook", but it was a little long colleges won't except it because it isn't 500 words exactly so it gets a 4. For her activities she gets a 4. She was able to keep a job and her keep her grades correct. She also had a lot of responsibly's. For her outstanding recommendation I would give this a 5. The consular tells us her challenges, elaborates on the transcript, explains strengths, and demonstrates leadership. Her S.A.T's is a 3. Her math score is slightly above average, but sadly her creative writing and writing wasn't looking to good. She has 20 points and divide by 5 her final average in my view is a 4.

In my final assessment I choose Kaylah Seronto. She works very hard to keep the transcript in order.The essay was good but not exactly 500 words. Her activities were great she had responsibility's to do at home, at work, and at school. She had an outstanding recommendation. S.A.T's could of used more work. But the most I find important is her Transcript and out of everybody she had the highest. She put a lot of effort into it and if she wanted to get into a good college, she would have to show her transcript with all she has done in high school.
