PDF Editor FAQ

What goes through your mind when someone says, “Don’t take this personally, but…?”

I interrupted the last person who said this and said,“FYI — the last 3 times I heard that statement I ended up getting pissed off because of the dick comment that followed.Is this something worth arguing over?”And they said, “Meh. Nevermind.”I can take criticism.But that “Don't take this personally” statement never seems to lead to any constructive feedback.

Will Harvard ever accept an average student?

I’ve seen students with perfect 1600 (or 2400) SAT scores and 4.0 GPA’s get turned down by the Ivies. I’ve also helped and worked with lower achieving students with 1800 (out of 2400) SAT scores and 3.3 GPA get accepted into an Ivy League (Yes, 3.3 GPA - you heard that right - and he was Asian American too).What it all comes down to is how you demonstrate your personal qualities, leadership, and commitment to your community through the application. This takes the form of personal statements, extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters that help the admissions officers determine whether to accept or reject you.The biggest mistake that students make is not taking their application seriously enough. This tends to happen with overachievers, who believe that their grades, test scores, and even national academic awards are enough to get them in.So yes, do pursue your passions and your interests, and work as hard as you can during your four years of high school. Just remember to capture and express all of your personal qualities in the college application itself, and write a genuine, palpable personal statement that helps the admissions officers understand the qualities that define you.Because at the end of the day, the bitter truth is that admissions to Ivy League schools is highly dependent on how well you present yourself on paper and draft your personal statement.Please read my blog on what the Ivy Leagues are looking for:The Biggest Misconception About College Admissions - Ivy College AdmitThe Personal Statement: The Holy Grail of College Admissions - Ivy College Admit

Does Oxford care about letter of recommendations or personal statements?

Generally speaking: no (at least, not for undergraduate level).Most admissions tutors will freely admit if you ask them that they will look at your personal statement exactly once - just before you come into the room for interview, and even then that is only so that they can pitch you a “soft” question about your background to make you comfortable before the real interview questions start.There is a cottage industry around preparing “Oxford personal statements”, but it makes virtually no difference to your chances of admission.
