| Lots of people don't read the whole thread before replying or just skim it. Yes it creates little problems like this but Student35 could have assumed the "Interesting question" comment referred to the original post and that that poster didn't read the rest of the thread. Also, dyslexia is much more localized to issues with letters and numbers, not so much paragraphs moving around (from my understanding).
To the topic: I remember some of the people during college visits and open campuses saying they were graduates of that particular university and had a real passion for their school. I don't think major is as important as loving the school. These were small LAC though. I'm really not sure about the huge universities and, of course, the Ivies would be pretty tricky too. Also, I know my school has student reps to admissions. You could start by volunteering in admissions, leading tours, etc., and progress to being a student on the actual committee (if they do that at your school). |
