Recommendation letters are a key part of the college application, but counselors may not know all of their students’ unique achievements and experiences. That's where Common App's "brag sheets" come in! 📝 By sharing accomplishments, activities, and goals, students can provide their counselor with the details they need to write a more personalized and impactful letter. It's an easy way to make sure a student’s strengths and story shine through in college applications. 🌟 https://bit.ly/3TYJfXM

I learned a ton about direct admissions writing this piece for Money. The newish process is growing by leaps and bounds even just in the last couple of years. A number of states have their own DA systems for their residents. https://lnkd.in/gwGku3aF Big thank you to Ken Woods at Whittier College, Steve Maples at University of Nevada, Reno, Aynsley Diamond, Ed.D., Samantha Karp at Common App, and Luke Skurman at Niche and first-year Whittier student Paola Ruiz. #collegeadmission #directadmission #collegeanduniversity #financialaid Kaitlin Mulhere
