I’m really nervous about my essay portion for college applications, I’m graduating high school in the spring so I feel like I have very little time to apply. I’m clueless what I can write about that will actually interest admission leaders.

If it helps: I’d like to be a psychology major, and become sometime of therapist. Possibly a clinical psychologist and work with teens and young children.

Suggestions what to base my college essay about and possible outline please? Very nervous X_X lol Thanks in advance ^_^

Hey I just met with a Turkish guy and while we were talking about differences btw us and turkey , he tried to explain different College Admission process going on in turkey but actually i couldn’t understand very well and he made me confused! if you guys know something about it , can you go over it shortly and clearly please? just wondering

"Turkish universities are Republican institutions, following Atatürk’s principles. Universities, faculties, institutes, higher education schools, conservatories, vocational higher education schools, police and military academies and colleges, and application-research centers are considered as Higher Education institutions.

Universities, faculties and institutes of four-year higher education schools are founded by Law, while the two-year vocational schools, departments and divisions are established by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). Universities are under the supervision of this Council and their programmes must be regularly accredited. The Council of Higher Education is a fully autonomous national board of trustees without any political or government affiliation. Universities have their rectors, deans, senate, and administrative boards, as well as student councils. In the universities, the instruction is generally in Turkish. Some universities use English, French and German as the language of instruction with one preparatory year if necessary.

After the highschool, the graduates enter an one-stage examination* (ÖSS - Student Selection Examination) in order to be admitted to Higher Education institutions. This nation-wide centralized examination is administrated by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) every year, which determines candidates for the enrollment of each university and faculty after evaluating the grades of related subjects, their high school average results and their preferences according to the student capacity of each faculty. Those with good grades are qualified for the four-year undergraduate programmes and at the end they can get a Bachelor’s Degree (BA), those who have grades at the limit can be admitted to the two-year higher education programmes and at the end they can get an Associate’s Degree (AA). Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine courses last for five years and Medicine for six years.

After a four-year faculty, one can go further for his/her Master’s Degree which lasts for two years with thesis and non-thesis options. Access to doctoral programs requires a master’s degree and have a duration of minimum four years with a doctoral thesis at the end. The graduates of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and Dentistry can directly apply to PhD/Doctorate programmes.

The purpose of higher education is to raise the students in line with their interests and skills, in conformance to the science policy of the country and in consideration of qualified manpower needs of society at several levels, to do researches in scientific areas, to arrange for all kinds of publications that show the research and examination results and facilitate advancement of science and technology, to finalize the researches and examinations demanded by the government and to make comments, to make written or oral public announcements explaining the scientific data that shall increase the general level of Turkish society and enlighten the public, and to give non-formal education.

According to the Law, higher education institutions are responsible for the training of their own academic staff. Meanwhile, Primary and Secondary school teachers are trained in universities for 4 years and they get a BA degree at the end.

The major source of income of state universities is the funds allocated through the annual State budget, this is equivalent of about 60% of the total university income. In addition to this, a University can generate its own income from the services provided by that university, such as patient care in university hospitals. Student contributions to state universities form only 4% of the total university budget. Meanwhile, the student fees in private foundation (Vakif) universities are much higher.

At present, enrolment in the private universities accounts for only 5% of the total. Clearly, state universities are by far carrying the major portion of the load of higher education in Turkey."

* it isn’t a one-stage examination anymore. it changed this year and i think it’s a 4-stage series of exams now.. you don’t have to take all of them depending on the program you want..

My friend visited a college and she felt she was lied to and tricked and she sent a rude email to the admissions counselor and they called her back about the email.

Seeing as they have called her back about the email - don’t you know the answer already?

They will either deal with her complaint or tell her to get lost.

The person was already accepted at a private University and getting a D+(69%) on AP Calculus class. What will happen to the admission? Would the college reject the admission?

It depends what you got when you got accepted. Colleges usually request a final transcript before proceeding you to college. If you got a D before, don’t worry, they will acknowledge you for your hard work. If your grade went from an A to a D, well be prepared to lose your college acceptance.

This is a ridiculous question I know, but if a college has a 90% admission rate does that mean that 90% of people that apply are accepted into it?

Yes, that is what it means.

If I have mediocre grades this year, and I bring my GPA up before the semester ended and go on to get my GPA to rise during the rest of high school, how much would this affect college admission likeliness? (I know this might be poorly worded and confusing, I’m sorry)

College Admissions look at your cumulative high school GPA up to the application date which typically includes up through 11th grade. Final freshman grades make up about one third of that. Any deficiencies there can be offset to some extent with good SAT scores, extra curricular activities, a good application essay, legacy status, etc.

Information is below

Let’s face it! The fact that a lot more students have obtained perfect scores either on their SAT or ACT has caused many top-ranking colleges to lay down extra criteria in their admission process. Until now achieving particularly high scores on standardized tests is not a factor that could determine everything. It’s intelligible that to get admitted by top uni you need to satisfy more than that. Therefore the point here is: What make you become outstanding in the eyes of the professors or staff responsible for the admission decisions?

I appreciate your answers. Thank you!

A diversity in what you do, as long as you are not spread too thin. Taking in leadership in a few areas of your life. Entrepreneurship is good. Personality. Accepting challenges is big—taking the hardest possible classes in high school (AP and Honors) is better than taking standard classes for an easy ‘A’.

Think of it from the college’s perspective: most want to have a vibrant student body, not an army of drones.

I’m a junior in high school and will be the first person in my family to attend college. I don’t really know much about the whole admissions process and i’m especially nervous about the interviews. Can you give me any advice or share your experiences? Any help would be greatly appreciated. =]
