As an admissions officer at Wavy University, It is clear what is improtant to me in a student application.I Iook for and excellent transcript followed by desciptive recommedation with great praise. Followed by an essay that answers the real question, then activities that show relialbility and leadership. And finally a good-great SAT score that shows to a general knowledge. I dont really care much about the SAT but if you do, it helps, if you do bad it wont really affect you. And a good transcript is the most important because its over a four year period.

After examining Roman Polanco's trancript, I am not pleased with what I see. There are far too many late and absences. There are no difficult classes. But there is some good things i saw such as the upward trend, showing he was trying. A very well written essay, shows growth but seems a bit too long. There is only 1 spelling mistake. I like what i see in his activities. This shows comitment and leadership. Plus he has worked for 3 years of high school. Also has done some community activities. This recommendation clears up alot. And explains why and how his aplication shows. Roman has really close to average SAT scores, with slightly below average in Critical Reading(480) and Writing(490), and slightly above average in Math(510).

After examining William Santos's transcript, I don't like it at all. His grades are just passing until 12 grade, and he did not take any challenging classes. There are far too many late and absenses, they are even getting worse. The essay is too short, does not show growth or answer the real question. I think he just trying to rely on his SAT scores. This guy cant stick to one thing. Does drama, soccar, comic book club, and flim appreciation for only 1 year each. Though he founded Inno-zine(comic magazine) but in 12 grade. Had 2 jobs for only a couple months at a time. There is faint praise. This recomandation does dont show/explain transcript. But he has excellent SAT scores. Above average in Critical Reading(600), Math(620), and Writing(650).

After examining Jasmine Duke's transcript, I am extremely pleased with what i see. 80's and 90's in every class for every with with an exception of one 79 but i would've like to see honers or college level classes. . She has excellence attendance. But her essay is disappointing, its about her mother. She did not answer the real question, I did not notice the epiphany. Its also a bit short, but i see no spelling or grammar mistakes. Looking at her activities, i like it. She shows that she could stay with something. She has been in Drama club and STEP program for 4 years for each. Church Choir for 3 years. Knitting club, scripture reader for 2 years. but she had worked at Lawence and Darby Jett, for 5 months. Internship for science in a children musieum for the summer. Her counselor recommendation explain what i have seen so far. She is hard working and is able to juggle her life around her mothers availability Her SAT scores were lower than average. With Critcal Reading(430), Math(470), and Writing(440).

After examining Kaylah Serrano's transcript, she has great grades with a noticeable upward trend, and taking challenging classes. With nearly flawless attendance, showing she is very reliable. Her essay is pretty long with only 1 spelling mistake. It shows how she's grown as a person, and answers the real question. She has nothing in activities. She was in the Jamming cares club for just 1 year. And walks her brother to school for 2 years, and worked for Dunkin' Donuts to help her family, at 12 grade, why not earlier? Her councerlor recommendation explains a lot about the rest of her transcript, essay, SAT, and activities. There is no faint praise, and explains to me why her avtivies was so bad. Two of her SAT scores were below average but one was slightly above average. With Critical Thinking(400), Math(520), and Writing(450).

Because what I think is important, I chose Jasmine Duke. She has excellent grades with great attendance. She had a really solid recommendation, but an awful essay, The recommendation explained so much, if it wasn't for the recommendation, I would not have chose her. Transcript and recommendation were the most important to me and i think she deserves it.
