Imagine that you are applying to an elite college for the first time. Which criteria would be the most important to the college admissions office? Do you believe your current college or university used these criteria in evaluating your own application?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should include the importance of test scores and grade point averages; the academic profile of the sending high school; the content and detail of recommendation letters; assessments of athletic talent logged by college coaches; and standardized assessments of financial need. Assembling a strong application file is a crucial step in any bid for admission to an elite college, because decisions often are made exclusively on the basis of the information inside the file.
