A New Roadmap to College Admissions: What's Important?
Ed Hat
In my last article, I wrote about the changes to the college admissions process due to COVID-19 including the optional college entrance exams (SAT or ACT), acceptance of pass/fail grading, little or no extracurricular activities to list on your application, limited or no Advanced Placement (AP) exam scores, no admissions tours to familiarize yourself with the admissions staff and college, and no school or youth sports used to strengthen your application. Both college admission staff and prospective college applicants are learning how to navigate this unchartered journey of college admissions without reliance on a decade-old recipe.
