Avoid These College Application Mistakes
If you or your child is currently in the process of applying to a variety of colleges, you need to know what mistakes to avoid. Here is a list of commonly reported goof-ups in the admissions process.
Two of the main mistakes that an admissions office will notice are misspellings and grammatical errors. An application is one of the first impressions that a school will receive about a student, and careless errors are not a good reflection on your work ethics. If a student won’t proofread an application for errors, how are they going to perform as a student? Worst of all, some students have even made a spelling mistake when listing their major.
Make sure that the student reads the application carefully and follows instructions exactly as they are written. Mistaking the word “county” for the word “country” can cause an embarrassing error. As a courtesy to the admissions office, make sure that your son or daughter practices their best handwriting on the application. Illegibility won’t leave a good first impression, and it is likely to get your child a rejection letter.

She argued that there was strong scientific evidence to show that brown-eyed children were smarter, cleaner, and nicer than blue-eyed ones. When told this, the children who were ‘designated’ as inferior actually took on the behavior she described all these children to be like, they even demonstrated poor performance on tests and other class work. In contrast, those who were told they were smarter became more aggressive and the introverted ones came out of their shells. these students did better in class.
