Thank you so much for watching our video! Yes if you make a case for your choice 😊 the question is open to interpretation.

Thank you so much for watching our channel and for your question! It’s up to each applicant how much effort they prefer to place into their application. Demonstrating interest is usually a positive whether it’s tracked or not.

Thank you for your comment! Most schools do not offer AP classes to freshman. They will primarily be comparing how your overall course load compares to your high school's overall course load.

Thank you so much for watching our videos and for your comment! You can ask your school counselor or your independent counselor for more information. Each high school is different on when they release their own individual data.

Hello! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching this video. Yes, they do have the bandwidth for this. The way each college uses the data varies from school to school but your school counselor or independent educational consultant should be able to provide more information on the process. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your comment and for watching this video! If you have questions on eligibility requirements for the peer rec or any other parts of the application process, make sure to call Dartmouth admissions directly!

Thank you so much for watching our channel and for your comment! It sounds like you have a strong academic record - congratulations! There are several factors that go into this question including your increase in rigor over time, your personalized class trajectory, and how you will be evaluated against your overall school profile. Both factors should be considered in a holistic admissions review (your classes and rigor senior year and how much you took advantage of what your school has to offer). Of course, if there are circumstances you need to explain, you can write about them in the additional information section, but make sure to show it to your school counselor and/or a trusted educational professional just as you would the other parts of your application. We hope this helps! Good luck!

Thank you so much for watching our channel and for sharing! We so appreciate the insight 😊

Thank you for watching and for your question! Schools have certain numbers they hope to reach per region per class. We hope this helps!

@LotusPremierEducation awesome. Is this data even historic available anywhere?

Thank you so much for commenting! It’s never a good idea to post your essay on any online forum, but we do offer essay revisions if you’d like to work with us through our website. Good luck with the process!

​@LotusPremierEducation thank you for the advice

@@farahalayani4886 We hope it helped!

Thank you so much for watching! Great question! It's best for students to begin exploring their passions early in their high school career so that they can authentically pursue their interests over time. We recommend beginning to think about these passions and passion projects freshman and sophomore year.

Thank you so much for watching our videos and for your comment! High AP scores can help round out an application. You should only send the AP scores that you feel most confident in and that you feel best reflect you as an applicant. We hope this helps!

@@LotusPremierEducation Thank you for this!

@@emmal0pez our pleasure! We hope it helped! Good luck with your process 😊

We hope it was helpful!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so glad to hear that the video was helpful and we wish you the best of luck in the college admissions process!

Thank you so much for watching our video! When incorporating research papers in your application process, it is always best to have proof of acceptance in a publication. Also, remember that research papers and passion projects are not always the same thing. We hope this helps!

Hey, I'm also applying this fall, I completed my paper this august I know that it takes like 5 to 10 months to get it published so I showed it to a phd prof and got approval from him. and I will get him to write a rec letter from him about my paper I recommend you do the same Hope this helps

@@oneparticlegreat advice and good work! We love seeing our Lotus community support one another! 👏🏼🎉

Thank you so much for watching our videos and subscribing to our channel! We hope it helps with your college process! ⭐️

Because of this, what should I do? Should I email Admissions office and ask about the Cape Town study abroad program there or that’s unnecessary? Since everybody is showing demonstrating interest apparently

Thank you so much for watching and for your excellent questions! We agree that UM is a fantastic choice 😊 if a school does not have a “why” supplemental but you’ve done a lot of research, you can incorporate that research in the demonstrated interest you show to schools. We have some upcoming resources that may help with this situation and we will link them when they’re ready!

How did you like the pre college program?

@@LotusPremierEducation Sorry! I am now seeing your responses. First, the campus is exquisite !!! I felt like I was in a fever dream. lol. I enjoy the weather, people, and summer program professors. The school has a diverse student body (even at the program), and I got a feel of the work hard and play hard culture (which I love! lol). Then, I got the feeling that UM is the school for me, so I hope I get in !! 🧡🙌🏽💚.

@@jayla9078 We are so glad you had a great experience! Good luck in the process and we hope our videos can help along the way!

so…anything else you suggest us to do to standout...?😫

Thanks so much for watching! Unfortunately several students are in the same position. While nothing really takes the place of a strong standardized test scores, other ways to stand out include creating a strong and authentic narrative, writing unique and interesting essays, demonstrating interest, and finding activities or achievements that diversify you from “the norm.” We hope this helps!

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! Try going back through the essay and revising it for cliche or frequently used phrases or sentences that read more vaguely. The more detail you include and the more you diversify your vocabulary and sentence structure, the more unique to you the essay will read. We hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your comment and for watching! Great question - demonstrated interest is SUCH an important part of the process. We linked the two videos we have on demonstrated interest below. We hope they are helpful! Let us know if you have more questions 😀

Thank you for your question! You need to analyze the different learning options available at your school, but historically, the IB program has been well received internationally.

Thanks for watching! We hope it was helpful 😊

Thank you so much for watching our videos! And thank you 😊

Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed the video…it was an inspiring speech!

Thank you so much for watching our channel and for your question! There is a section on the common application called the “additional information” section where you can explain situations just like these. Make sure to take advantage of that section when you fill out your application. Some schools will take these circumstances into account.

Thank you! We agree! 👍🏼 advising systems on campus are so important for the student’s experience.

Hello! Thanks so much for your comment. Higher SAT/ACT scores will certainly help because they will show your academic capability and provide a more holistic understanding of your GPA, but you should also write about your circumstances in the other pieces of the application itself.

Thank you for your comment! We hope this video was helpful. International applicants are considered in comparison with their school profile and regional profile. Even if there is no GPA, there will still be some form of tangible grade markers for success.

I had the same quetion! Thank you!

We are so glad! Good luck next year!

We’re glad we could help! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

🫶🏼 we hope it was helpful! Thanks for being here.

Thank you so much!

We are so glad it's helpful!

Thank you ☺️

Thank you so much for your comment, Michael. A few schools are starting to update their policies so we expect that more will join in...it's pretty normal that they make decisions as a group. We will keep you updated as we hear more!

Wow!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a tremendous accomplishment-we are so proud of you!! Thank you so much for sharing this excellent news with us 🙏🏻 it’s comments like these that keep us going ⭐️

I completely agree with you! Her videos are very helpful 😊 She's a great educator and simplifies complicated information very well! I love this channel!

aww thank you so much! We appreciate it ☺@@RaulMM1980

We hope it helps! It’s a great school and we have tons of tips on our shorts so make sure to check them out!

Thank you! 😄😄

It’s a very important part of the process, and we do recommend taking it seriously! Good luck!

The general answer is they would consider more years a plus, but it does depend school to school. He should absolutely take at least one more year if he is still a freshman, even if he is in his third year. It's best to get as close as possible to "maxing out" the language levels at your school. And if you do replace a language, make sure it is with a class that fits your child's narrative.

Thank you for your question! There is definitely a benefit to starting on the Honors track early. It will not be negative if he needs to drop down, but it may warrant a quick explanation in the additional information section. We always recommend starting higher and moving down if you need to, rather than holding yourself back. You never know what you are capable of until you try! 😊

Definitely interesting. They spoke a little about it in the post that they released yesterday, but of course, there are likely more reasons behind it.

It will be! But remember what we said in the video: the best way to stay prepared is to stay ahead.

It really is...such a challenging part of the process.

Thank you so much! We appreciate it! :)
