As an admissions officer I ranked the TEARS, ERTAS. I think the Essay is most important in TEARS because it tells you about a student from his or her point of view. The Recommendation is the second most important thing to me in TEARS. The Recommendation is important because it tells you about the student from a teachers point of view how good his/her grades are. Strongest and weakest subjects,behavior,etc. I say that the Transcript is the third of the TEARS. The transcript tells you about all grades they have throughout all 4 years. It also says what scores they have gotten on the regents exams and their SAT's. Activities is ranked fourth in TEARS. It tells you if a student has worked in any clubs in all four years in high school. Also how long they had worked their for. And if they had a job experience throughout the years. Now the least important to me the SAT's. The SAT's is just tests that for some colleges you need to have a high score on to be in their college. I wouldn't recommend the SAT's for my college if I owned one. So that's why its the least important to me.

While I was looking at Jasmine's Transcript I noticed she has really good grades. Even though she has bad SAT scores I dont really care about the SAT scores anyways. I do like how she did fairly well on her regents exams. Her attendance is pretty good also. Her activities were really good also she stood in clubs for a long time throughout all 4 years. And she has a really good job experience in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. But what I do not like is her essay which is the most important to me. It is too short for me I think this was a spaghetti sauce essay also. Her Recommendation is pretty good not a faint praise recommendation at all. So over all I dont think she has a bad application at all.

In reviewing Kayla Serrano Essay I realized the essay was too long but she had a lot of details in it. I really like how she really couldn't speak English and learned how to. I love how she wrote that she supported her family while she had financial challenges. She worked 25 hours per week to support her family. This essay also has an epiphany which I love. I felt that Kayla's recommendation letter is good because her teacher say incredible things about her. Kayla took college level classes at CUNY- Hunter College. Now, while looking at her transcript her grades were good 70-90's all four years. She took two honor classes in 11th and 12th grade. Her regents exams score was not to good but her math regents was good. She didn't do a lot of activities because she didn't have the time.
