College Essay Triples In Importance

 

The student’s admission essay has always been key to acceptance into college. But more than ever before, a COLLEGE ENTRANCE ESSAY IS THE TICKET TO THE MUCH BETTER LIFE enjoyed by college degree holders. 

 

Four-year degree holders earn $1.2 million more over a career than the non-credentialled. Degree holders even have longer lifespans. Almost 9 years longer according to the Brookings Institute. More money and a longer life.  Attaining a 4-year degree is imperative.

 

The first step is the Admissions Essay.

 

Competition is stiff.  America’s best colleges accept only about 4% of applicants.  Never before have there been so many existential forces at play against public-school students attending 4-year college:

 

The recent SCOTUS Ruling striking down 60 years of Affirmative Action 

 

Illegal side dealings by wealthy students’ parents

 

The outsized influence of legacy status 

 

The diminishing influence of SAT and ACT tests

 

A Sad Fact.

 

The writing discipline has always been a challenge for some. Many people working in corporate America are weak writers. LEARN MORE

 

Public-school students are the weak writing workforce of tomorrow. The 3-year Covid pandemic significantly worsened an already bad situation.  But be encouraged by America’s educators.

 

They are engaging in a robust re-examination of methods and practices in use for decades that now have been deemed ineffective. One approach to teaching reading is balanced literacy. It advocates figuring out words and meanings when reading by their context instead of using phonics.

    •  

One Up All Foundation‘s mission is to improve public school outcomes by using non-traditional practices.  The program it created to improve nonenriched high school students’ college acceptance competitiveness is called ESSAY ASSAY.

Essay Value Soars Post SC Rules

When the Supreme Court of the United States eliminated race as a factor in college admissions, they rendered the already weak hand held by underserved students even more on shaky ground.

 

The Ruling’s most immediate impact is felt by high schoolers. Hopefuls desiring to pursue a college education this winter, next spring, and next fall’s term.

 

Competition for entry was already stiff. Students from underserved communities compete with America’s wealthiest families to get into highly desirable colleges and universities. Harvard and Princeton accept less than 4% of applicants according to BusinessInsider.com.

 

To beat those odds, ultra wealthy parents spend big-time to secure one of those coveted seats at a prestigious Ivy League school.  Companies exist to assist them. We’re all familar with an acting couples legal troubles for paying for their kid to get a sports scholarhship at a prestigious CA school in a sport she didn’t play.

 

Companies exist to improve students chances of acceptance from the academic approach as well.

 

College Entrance Counseling for the Well-Heeled

These “college counseling” companies earn up to $1 million or more to shepherd a wealthy student successfully through the college entrance process beginning as early as the 7th grade.

 

Parents often offer to pay more for exclusive attention, or particularly devious Parents try to pay to shut out other potential student competitors. These counseling companies provide mentorship, tutoring, and send reminder texts to students to turn in their history report.

 

With no way to compete with this type of college above all else mentality, students from nonenriched schools find themselves at an almost insurmountable disadvantage.  Covid and poor performing urban schools only add to the nonenriched students hurdles to a brighter future.

 

The stakes are high. College degree holders earn on average $1.2 million more than the noncredentialled.  Sixty years of Affirmative Action created the middle class and elevated quality of life for millions. Today’s students deserve that same opportunity.

ESSAY ASSAY


ESSAY ASSAY is a pilot program from One Up All Foundation, a public school education focused nonprofit and co-sponsored by the WRITING FOR BUSINESS Lesson Series. The program is launching this fall into select metro New York City schools. 

 

The goal is to help strengthen non-enriched student college essays a free with expert review from a volunteer professional.

 

Essay Value Soars

The Entrance Essay si among the few post-academic levers available to improve a nonenriched student’s chance of acceptance into college.  Reference Letters, extracurricular activities, and alumni parents being others.

 

 

Even aptitude tests like the SAT no longer carry the same weight at some schools. The entrance essay therefore has never been more important.
