As an admissions officer I ranked the T.E.A.R.S as the transcript to be the most important because the transcript tells the colleges how that person did in all its 4 years of high school and there attendance and there SAT's.I secondly put the recommendations as the second one because the recommendations. Tell the colleges how the student was, if they were either a great student or a horrible student. It practically tells the college what the students teachers thought of them and there behavior. I say the activities is third most important because it tells the colleges what the student is did in all four years of high school. Say if they joined any clubs or had a job or did anything after school. It tells the colleges what the student did on there free time. I say the essay is forth most important because it tells the colleges about the student and how they became a leader. I think the SAT's is the least important because it is only one day and it really doesn't matter and you wouldn't be able to tel.l if the student is very smart or not that smart. The student may have test exiguity.

Roman Polanco is a great student his essay answers all of the questions. And tells the colleges how he learned to become a leader. He was a leader for student ambassadorial in 12th grade.On his recommendationit says he was a strong leader and valued member in the innovation community. It said that Roman is a late bloomer but he is one of the most reliable students in the school.

 His activity sheet it said he worked very hard and he joined may clubs such as, Debate club, adjude Me! Portuguese Club with Esther, and the Innovation Cares Club. He also did home activities/coummunity activities such as a Volunteer at a soup kitchen and central park clean up volunteer. He was a leader for student ambassadorial in 12th grade.  Also on his activity sheet it said he was an ambition for all four grades.

 Romans transcript is good, He has many lateness's and many absences. He did 11 elective classes, his best class was English. Romans SAT scores are not that great. In Math he got a 490 on his first try and on his second try of doing the SAT's he did better on his second try he got a grade of 510. On Critical Reading and on Writing he had averages of the 400's. In writing he got 470 on his first try and on his second try he got 480. And on critical reading he got 450 on his first try and on his second try he got 480.

Kayla was a great student on her transcript she had good grades in all four years. Algebra was her best class in all four years she had 90's a and above, she did 8 elective classes and her standardized test were good. Her best standardized test were Spanish, geometry, algebra and algebra II/trig. Her activities were not that great she really didn't do any activities she joined the Jamming Cares Club and on Community/Home Activities she only walked her little brother to school every morning. She also had a job at dun kin donuts she only worked there for 20 hours a week. And sh worked at the counter service.

 Her essay was not great, she did  answer the questions she talked about how she got a job at dunkin donuts and supported her family. Before she felt lonley and sad, because she had just start a new school and she didn't have any friends. But when she started to work at dunkin donuts she realized she had a responsibly of taking care of her family, since her aunt had just lost her job. And when she went back to school she decided to go 2 her classmates and make friends. She realized she was a strong in dependent woman.   Kayla's recommendation was great, Kayla is a great student and on her recommendation it says she has determination and focus with her academics, and most recently with the college process. Her counselor says she challenges herself whenever by taking several higher level courses. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Kayla's SAT scores are not great she did poorly.
