GAME: True/False Unfounded Generalizations

<p>false. 3 is the max, maybe 2 :)</p>

<p>if you need money to attend, apply for as many outside scholarships as you are elgible for</p>

<p>TRUE!!!!</p>

<p>Outside scholarships replace grants in your FA.</p>

<p>i don't know...i thought they replaced loans but i could be wrong</p>

<p>make sure your respond to the school you're going to attend by may 1st or 2nd (don't remember exactly)</p>

<p>true.. of course u've to notify the school by the deadline (whenever it is)</p>

<p>write polite rejection letters (like the college you were rejected from sent you) to the colleges you were accepted in but are not enrolling</p>

<p>true :)</p>

<p>make sure you know how much money you're paying in application fees before you finalize your list</p>

<p>true... (hadn't thought abt it though! :) )</p>

<p>colleges google applicants</p>

<p>true but not all as we learned on a thread :)</p>

<p>if sending in an art portfolio don't wait to make slides of your work(the preferred medium)</p>

Oh, no! My cover has been revealed! :eek: :)</p>

<p>You should always visit the school before you commit to it.</p>

<p>True...I think so, at least. The area around the school is also important, because the brochures may show that the college is very nice, but they may not show the surrounding area.</p>

<p>Ivy League schools will throw out applications if they do not like the applicant's handwriting (on the outside of the envelope).</p>

<p>false they i imagine they would if it was inlegible once they started reading it :)</p>

<p>asking your teachers for recs on october 31st is a good idea for ED schools</p>

<p>FALSE!! i've my ED deadline nov 1st!</p>

<p>p!ss!ng ur teacher off once the recs are mailed is a good idea</p>

<p>false teachers are people too :)</p>

<p>colleges like passion</p>

<p>true as long as the passion is not in sth 'wrong'</p>

<p>colleges will do anything to go up in rankings</p>

<p>true for the most part, though there are exceptions to every rule</p>

<p>being a recruited athlete USUALLY is only going to be a really big boost if it's for a main sport</p>

<p>true</p>

<p>colleges have secret agents to seek out prospective applicants :)</p>

<p>true...! :D</p>

<p>adcoms who come here can identify applicants who list really specific things about themselves</p>

<p>True. "Can you evaluate my chances? I go to X high school, am in these clubs, and have these grades in these classes..." It's pretty easy to pick out applications, I'd bet. Not to mention the people who post their essays. </p>

<p>Going to a CC and then transferring to a four-year college after two years is a bad plan of action.</p>

<p>false :) :)</p>

<p>posting your essays online is a bad idea</p>
