I have an interview with a college in 2 days so thank you so much for this, Ethan! :D Your essay exercises helped me a lot while writing my CommonApp essay. I had been brainstorming it for 2 weeks but finally got to writing and finished the first draft within a day!
Great content! With the idea of helping HS students...should we be concerned about the new changes to the SAT/ACT? What has made colleges in recent years (BEFORE 2020) say that tests don't matter; meaning they're now optional!? Supposedly, some feel Finland to be the gold standard of educational systems. They have a Finnish matriculation exam at the end of High School. Their scores become the standard for which college they attend; the UK, and most countries in the world, have standardized tests-no “option out” with any of these countries. And, in recent years, some HR departments are not hiring from Ivy's - what's going on? Why would HR departments do this?
Great Question! There are tons of great resources out there for understanding the test optional movement. Here’s one of our resources on the subject: www.collegeessayguy.com/podcast-stream/test-optional-admissions-101-what-why-where-who
