80488390As I completed my schooling I have to participate in the race to acquire admissions in some really good colleges or universities like Maimi Dade College, University of Florida, etc… The happiness of the results and attainment of good grades is really short lived as I at first had to run behind colleges for the admission forms, selecting the college that would be the best for me, what are the criteria of colleges selecting the students? Am I suitable to fit into this criterion? Many questions were lingering in my mind in the process; I had to move on with the tough times. However I had made an intensive research on process of selection of the students.

Every student might have a desire to get acquainted with the requirements of the colleges. Every college demands for an apt applicant to turn into the student of their college. Thus there are large amount of terms and conditions laid before the admission of any applicant. However every college differs from each other in terms of criteria. Thus in order to broadly define the criteria, we can have a dissection on the basis of academic factors and non-academic factor.

Proofs speak better than the words and thus academic qualities are always regarded as a highlighting factor by the colleges than the personal qualities. Better the academic scores more the weight age to your application while the lower the academic scores lesser the weight age to the application. Some colleges totally neglect the participation and activeness in the extracurricular activities during the selection process. While some colleges, during the selection process provide weight age to the participation and activeness in the extracurricular activities. The interest and hobbies of the student are also kept in mind during the selection process.

Academic criteria involve certain key factors like performance, curriculum, testing and recommendation. Performance basically involves through record of academic grades and achievements. Curriculum basically deals with specific, highly demanding courses like English, history, foreign language, Advanced placements, etc… that hold more importance than the normal schooling. Testing basically mean the ACT and SAT scores which also hold prime importance in the selection process by some colleges. Some colleges also demand for recommendation from the counselor and teachers. The letter from the counselor will include the background of the student’s mind from the academic, extracurricular and personal point of view while the teacher’s letter will include background of the student while they were in school.

Non-Academic criteria include the key factors like activities and interest, application, personal interview, special talent and legacies. The involvement in the activity plays a vital role in the selection process. Let the college get acquainted with your activities and interest, however be specific, do not provide a long list, just speak the truth and share those activities and interest you are genuinely involved in. While writing the application avoid being in hurry, fill every information with a calm-mind avoiding the errors. Some colleges also conduct personal interviews; in such a situation, keep your calm and face it confidently. Students with special talents are given special prominence as these students are expected to enhance college’s reputation. At times colleges also consider the eligible applicants who are children of alumni.

Colleges are the foundation stone of a person’s life as well as career. Selecting a proper college can bring us to a really astounding life while selecting a bad college may turmoil your life. The above factors help acquiring a proper college and setting your life as well as career.
