Q: Can I talk about a mental illness on my college applications as a reason for a dip in my grades? A: As an on-again, off-again admissions reader, I’ve always been trained to take into account extenuating circumstances like an illness (in whatever form) or death in the family when evaluating an applicant’s profile. This type of info should be detailed in the additional information sections of your college application for sure, but can also serve as a main focus for the primary personal statemen

This week we welcome Regional Director of Admission for the Mid Atlantic, Kathleen Voss, to the blog. Welcome, Kathleen! Do you remember the episode of Modern Family when Phil and Claire drop Haley off at college? They are OVER the top all day, even wearing “Haley Dunphy Moving Company” t-shirts. Haley is mortified and begs her dad to take off the t-shirt lest they be judged by all the other kids and their families moving into the residence hall.

I’m starting a new miniseries on the blog – Film Club! Each episode, I’ll share a short clip from a popular piece of media, and then completely dissect and overanalyze it, because let’s face it, I’m doing it in my head already anyway. You say “buzzkill.” I say “science.” We’ll kick things off with a clip from Gravity Falls I discussed a bit in my previous post: Season 2 Episode 12, A Tale of Two Stans.

Reading Time: 8 minutes For a parent, choosing the right school for their child is no easy decision. Parents take pride in their child’s education, and when it comes to private schools, they want to know that they’re making a solid investment for the present and the future. With many parents now browsing social media to research options, your school needs a social media strategy to create and deliver content that appeals to their intent. .

Some argue that the high tuition cost of Harvard and other high-priced colleges isn’t worth the money. Clearly, an elite, private education is a lot of money. But the argument that it’s a waste of money is impossible to refute. It’s equally futile to argue that a high priced degree definitely is worth the money. There are no hard facts upon which to hang this argument.

iStock. Students, parents, and guardians regularly ask questions about the financial aid process. Those questions begin as families work to complete the FAFSA for the first time and continue for the entire time a student is enrolled in college. Then, after graduation, students routinely seek advice as they check on upcoming student loan payments and may have new questions about graduate or professional school funding.

As someone who listens to lots of music, many songs on my playlists remind me of specific memories from my past year at Caltech. Here are a few, in no particular order: Way 2 Sexy - Drake, Future, Young Thug. This song was a fall term classic, especially in Fleming House. I probably heard it at least three times a weekend for the entire term, and some people got tired of it quickly, while others had it on repeat.

Or, “No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus.”. In 1897, an editorial in the New York Sun responded to an 8 year-old girl named Virginia that there was, in fact, a Santa Claus. And now Santa has appeared in the form of a slim man in aviator sunglasses who resides not at the North Pole, but in the White House.
