Maria+Vargas+Admissions+Essay

As an admissions officer I rank the TEARS as letters of recommendation first. I think they are the most important because it tell how they were in class, if they participate in class or were very helpful. Then the essay second because it give them a chance to tell me about their self. then I rank transcript third because grades are important but some grades in some subjects might be lower than other and they might have a good reason why that is. then the SAT scores because some say these test are biased toward some students. I rank activities last because I think they are the least important.

In reviewing Roman Polanco's application, I saw that he had a upward trend and his grade in the math SAT's are better than in his math classes
