Here's everything that's inside:
Mistake #1: Only Applying to Highly Ranked (or Ivy League) Schools – and how it leads to even the best students receiving rejections from every school.
Mistake #2: Choosing Only the Most Competitive Majors (Like Engineering or Computer Science) – and why you can’t always trust the acceptance rates colleges list on their websites.
Mistake #3: Treating Your Essays Like a Résumé or a List of Accomplishments – and why you don’t need to overshare trauma or fake vulnerability to write remarkable essays.
Mistake #4: Letting Parents, Guidance Counselors, and ChatGPT Take Over Your Application – and why you can’t always trust their advice on the college admissions process.
Mistake #5: Waiting Until the Last Minute to Edit and Refine Your Application – and why procrastinating can leave you too rushed to make thoughtful edits or last-minute improvements.
