Chance for SHC

<p>in our school we unfortunately don’t work on our essays in english =( however i could always ask my teacher to look them over…</p>

<p>btw quick question, will i have a better chance at admission the sooner i apply? i know its important to apply before the nov 31 deadline, but will i have a better chance at admission if i apply say in september rather than november? or it doesn’t matter as long as i apply before nov 31</p>

<p>you should apply as early as you can</p>

<p>as far as essay help- I do not think it is frowned upon at all- as long as you don’t actually have someone write the essay for you. Your personal voice should shine through. </p>

<p>However, someone can help you with things like critiquing the structure, content and grammar of the essay in order to help you to improve it.</p>

<p>I don’t know that applying early will help with the SHC application; I believe they are considered as a group. If taking more time allows you to put together a better application, I recommend taking the additional time. </p>

<p>It can also be helpful to take a first run at the essays, then put them aside for a week and look at them later with fresh eyes. Occasionally students ask for essay review in the Parents’ Forum. I don’t know how successful they are with it, but you might do a quick search over there and see what kind of response others have received. There are some very helpful parents posting there.</p>

<p>thank you very much, and are you sure they are considered as a group? im sorry im just curious</p>

<p>I am not positive, but I am fairly sure that when my S applied our HS collected all the SHC apps and then messengered them to admissions together, just before the deadline.</p>

<p>You can always email the College and ask.</p>

<p>thanks again for the response…i e-mailed dean brady and he said that there is no benefit in applying early as long as you apply by the november 31 deadline</p>

<p>Great, good luck! It can be helpful to apply early for regular PSU admission and it is nice to get that big envelope early. :slight_smile:
BTW, there are only 30 days in November; I would hate for you to be a day late! ;)</p>

<p>thank you very much =) and hahaaha thank you that would have been bad!</p>
