That’s because everyone who has either applied or helped a son or daughter apply to college considers him or herself an expert. As with everything else, don’t believe everything you hear. If you’d like to drive your counselor crazy, start each college-related conversation with “I heard that…” Rest assured that the SAS counselors are connected to the world of college admissions through their relationships with admission officers, leadership positions and participation in professional organizations, and years of experience in this ever-changing field.  \nThe goal of this Guide is to help identify and maximize your admissions chances to several“good fit” schools. By knowing what application readers look for, you’ll have an easier time presenting yourself in the best light, and therefore be the sort of student they want to admit. You’ll also learn ways to maximize the chances that you will stand out as an applicant.  \nUnfortunately, there is no guide, person, or website with a foolproof, step-by-step strategy forgetting into college. Even if you could be completely mathematical in determining where you want to go and what you need to do to get in, your application would still be in the hands of subjective admissions officers. No matter how rational you are, you will never know of particular admission goals that a college might have that year. Perhaps the year you are applying they are trying to increase the number of males-or females.  \nThis Guide assumes you’ll apply to one or more fairly “selective” colleges, which reject a significant number of applicants. You’ll also apply to other colleges, which admit a fairly high proportion of applicants.“Less selective” simply means that the college admits a high number of students. Choosing a college isn’t about the number of students it admits; it’s about finding the college which is the best match.  \nThe SAS Counselors hope you will find this guide helpful. We are here to help you as you make your decisions about higher education.
