<p>true... i guess</p>
<p>[and i think u're right... colleges lose a large amount of money sending materials to prospective applicants. and most of them don't apply anyway!]</p>
<p>colleges are very conscious about hurting their stats when admitting a student with poor stats but great ec's!</p>
<p>false...kinda. one student isn't going to ruin things :)</p>
<p>eat breakfast before starting applications</p>
<p>false.... whenever u feel like it! doesn't matter rite?</p>
<p>adcoms hate receivin petty gifts from applicants</p>
<p>true. unless it happens to be from...nvm.</p>
<p>do the essays last and the financial aid first.</p>
<p>false. Essays matter a lot in admissions.</p>
<p>Bob Jones Unversity is ranked #1 by Princeton Review.</p>
<p>false :)</p>
<p>academics should be the only consideration when applying</p>
<p>That's not an unfounded generalization :mad:</p>
<p>Half the people who post their stats on CC are fake</p>
<p>I dunno. I'd have to actually know this for a fact :D</p>
<p>playing a rarer instrument can be a boost (if talented) bigger than for playing the flute or clarinet</p>
<p>False... i think </p>
<p>If your accepted to and complete a colleges summer program (summer after junior year) it boosts your shot at that college</p>
<p>True, just by alittle bit tho.</p>
<p>It is better to use the school's own application rather than the Common App (where applicable).</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>True, I believe. Colleges claim to be fair when considering a variety of factors, but in truth they are rarely fair towards these differences. Sure says something about our society when institutions of learning feel the need to spread such lies. </p>
<p>Colleges have no quotas with regards to each high school.</p>
<p>false... but they probably won't take more than a certain number i guess.</p>
<p>colleges get junk applications! :D</p>
<p>true if the application fee is free, but probably not as common or at all if it's like 70 buckaroos :D</p>
<p>colleges like students who eat bananas</p>
<p>false.... i wish they did though :)</p>
<p>colleges accept a few applicants with criminal records for moral diversity</p>
<p>true perhaps? I dunno :) I'm sure if that was proved to be true you'd see cc'ers going out and trying to cause trouble though ;)</p>
<p>very few people pay the sticker price for college</p>
<p>for high priced colleges true... but ppl can afford the lower priced colleges (<10000) i think... i dunno</p>
<p>colleges start reviewing applications the moment they receive them and not wait till january or whenever the deadline is</p>
<p>true for rolling schools, probably true for others too, they're just pulling our leg :p</p>
<p>adcoms remember kids they see when they visit schools, do college fairs</p>
<p>false... they pretend to remember i think. unless of course the kid impressed teh adcom</p>
<p>being an adcom is a seasonal job</p>
<p>uhhh I wouldn't say seasonal, but def. not a pernament position, many leave after a few years</p>
<p>writing an essay about how you want to be an adcom will impress</p>
<p>if it's done creatively and without sounding like it's done to impress, it might... so true</p>
<p>brilliant students with poor verbal skills are at a great disadvantage because they're goin to have low SATs, and poor essays an poor english grades</p>
