Chalk Talk: College Application Types
As colleges have gotten increasingly competitive with more and more students applying, college applications have gotten more and more varied. Some are geared toward ease and response speed. Others are geared toward demonstrating students’ commitment to the college. In general, all applications have certain commonalities, such as the application itself, transcripts, and an essay, which most applications require. Many applications require multiple essays, teacher recommendations, and a resume, though not all do. Some require additional essays, portfolios, and even interviews. Some students don’t believe that every aspect of an application is necessary, but a college wouldn’t ask for something if it didn’t plan on considering it as part of the application process.
