<p>if you can oay for a private college(no finiancial aid required) its easier to get in</p>
<p>true if it's not 100% need-blind :)</p>
<p>college admissions are arbitrary</p>
<p>true...:(</p>
<p>A legacy with a 1200 (old SAT) has a better chance at Harvard than a student with the same credentials, except for a 1600 on the SAT and not being a legacy.</p>
<p>false if a normal (non-money giver) legacy :)</p>
<p>the midwest is less selective than the northeast</p>
<p>True...I would say so...</p>
<p>Harvard is a better school than Yale.</p>
<p>that's subjective. though personally i'd take yale way before harvard. I don't like it at all :)</p>
<p>understanding ed, ea, scea, rd, ed1, and ed2 is important before applying</p>
<p>True.</p>
<p>What are ED1 and ED2?</p>
<p>Write essays in a language that the adcom can read is important.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>ed1 and ed2 are different dates. like ed but split into an earlier and later date</p>
<p>true haha :)</p>
<p>adcoms like spell-checked documents</p>
<p>True...wy wud day wan sum1 hoo spel lyk dis?</p>
<p>Adcoms hate when people say that their hero is a famous person (such as a gov. official), as half the applicants pick such a person.</p>
<p>true but i think it's because people who aren't in your life rarely impact you that much</p>
<p>if doing an essay on an important person in your life, pick someone who you personally know</p>
<p>True!</p>
<p>Colleges only send mail to qualified applicants.</p>

<p>false...i got mail from yale and harvard...i'm about the opposite of qualified</p>
<p>adcoms are generally slow to answer emails at schools that get a lot of applications</p>
<p>HAHA. False. I'm pretty sure my neighbor's dog is on some colleges' mailing list.</p>
<p>Colleges are only for smart people.</p>

<p>CC can be included as an ec.</p>
<p>true....j/k. :) I wish. I'd own.</p>
<p>a great essay isn't perfect, but gets its point across more effectively than a lesser essay</p>
<p>Wow, this topic is owning. I never thought it would be THIS popular.</p>
<p>true to the above, but I'd add that there is no PERFECT essay.</p>
<p>Adcoms are all angry 45 year old women going through menopause.</p>
<p>False. Most of them are recent college graduates.</p>
<p>Adcoms prefer well-rounded applicants.</p>
<p>true</p>
<p>a grossly underqualified applicant might be accepted to a college by mistake [somehow!]</p>
<p>false :)</p>
