college admissions process

The college admissions process involves students applying to colleges by submitting forms, transcripts, test scores, and other materials. Colleges review applications to assess academic performance, extracurricular involvement, essays, recommendation letters, and test scores. They evaluate how well applicants meet their specific criteria and fit their campus community. Admissions decisions can be selective, waitlisted, or non-competitive. Many colleges also consider demonstrated interest and potential contributions. The goal is to select students who will succeed academically and enrich campus life. Once accepted, students choose which offer to accept and complete any required steps to enroll.
