College Admissions

The 2008 College Admissions data is being released by the elite schools. According to the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal many Ivy League schools are accepting applicants at rates lower than 10% with Harvard's acceptance rate at around 7.9%. Once again schools are swamped with a record number of applicants for a limited number of spaces. This trend is expected to continue at least through 2010. In this highly competitive environment, it is important to prepare a well rounded resume with your application. This includes your entire body of work throughout High School--grades, extra-curicculars, standardized test scores, leadership roles, community service, recommendations, work experience as well as any other creative talent you may have to stand out from all those qualified applicants.
