| Last year a "hot" question to ask at spring information sessions of various colleges was how the college treats applications submitted with more than one set of test scores. Does the college "superscore," or does it take the best single-sitting test score, or do something else? It would be good to review this spring what each college says about such policies when you attend college information sessions.
This year one hot question seems to be whether a college cares or not about where else you are applying. What is the effect of NOT saying where else you are applying? What is the effect of saying, and mentioning more selective colleges (or less selective colleges) as part of your list?
Another hot question this year is whether it really makes a difference how a student self-identifies as to ethnic category when applying to college, and whether it is possible to totally leave off information about ethnic category without consequence for admission.
Those are some questions I'm seeing coming up in quite a few threads. What hot questions do you see this year on CC that would be good to ask college admission officers at regional information sessions? |
