The ready sheet allows readers on the admissions committee to get a quick overview of your transcript. <br /><br />This link from the (extremely amazing and informative) New York Times "The Choice" blog gives you a behind-the-scenes look at <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/11/30/education/20091130choiceStudentCard.html">College of the Holy Cross's ready sheet.</a><br /><br />This shows you just how important honors and AP coursework can be! It also shows how schools really take those SAT subject tests into consideration. <br /><br />Notice the "Student Contact" section in the lower righthand corner. A good interview or visit might not get you in, but it sometimes can tip things in your favor if a committee is on the fence.<br /><br />Admissions Advocates can help you prepare <strong><em>now</em></strong> to have the best ready&nbsp;sheet possible!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4671178106818181694-2911912247740803449?l=admissionsadvocates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Admissions Advocateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10028918625603267172noreply@blogger.com0
