If they can check off most of the items they assume they have a decent chance at their school of choice,Grapes 5. Sometimes they’re right. And sometimes they’re wrong,Jordan Grapes 5. The truth: the admissions process has elements of the checklist and all the above factors play a role,Coach Factory Outlet, but admissions is much more than simply checking off items on a list. It has a highly subjective part to it that more closely resembles the creation of a mosaic. And the checklist approach can’t even begin to explain this aspect of admissions, especially for highly competitive programs,Lebron James Shoes.

When adcoms evaluate your application,Lebron 10 Elite, the boxes in the application, the stats,Coach Factory Outlet Online, the transcripts – your checklist — show if you are qualified. Once you prove you are qualified,Jordan 5 Grape, you still have to answer with clarity and focus the fundamental question in admissions: “Why should we admit you to our school when X other qualified applicants are applying for the same position,Coach Outlet?”

When choosing among qualified applicants,Cheap Lebron 10, the admission staff members resemble artists creating a mosaic more than auditors or underwriters ensuring certain criteria are met. They aren’t looking for a bunch of identical checklists/stones – how boring! They want a class where each individual will add a different color or detail to the whole. In the words of an HBS admissions officer whom I spoke to recently, “We want different voices present in the classroom.” She would much prefer dissonant cacophony in the classroom than monotonous agreement or even consonant harmony.

In their quest for individuality and personality, the admissions staff members look most closely at the essays. Make sure your essays demonstrate that you have something distinctive and individual to contribute. You don’t have to come from an impoverished background or have climbed Mt. Everest, but you do want your application as a whole, and your essays specifically, to reveal personality and your inimitable reflections on your life experiences – your unique voice and singular tone. It’s much tougher than a checklist.
