    What are the most significant, avoidable mistakes students make in the admissions process?

     

    One of the biggest mistakes students make is not being true to themselves. Too often they write/say what they think the admission officers want to hear rather than using the opportunity to let a side of themselves shine through.

    Another big mistake is putting too much value on friends opinions. The college that is right for one student is not right for every student, so students need to form their own opinions about a college.
