Question

name: sara cartwright
school: leeman high school
about me: i am so excited for senior year! i know it’s going to be a blast. i spent this past summer going to so many parties. but i hear senior parties are even better! we are going to need to blow off a lot of steam to get through this next year, because it’s time to start applying to colleges. that’s going to be insane!
what is the most important change this student should make to her profile as she begins to apply to college?
○ she should list the address for her high school.
○ she should tell more about her summer experiences.
○ she should describe her plans for her social life in greater detail.
○ she should place less emphasis on partying and tell more about her future intentions.

Explanation:

When applying to college, a student's profile should highlight qualities and plans that show readiness for academic and personal growth. Sara's current "About Me" focuses on partying, which is not relevant for college applications. Colleges want to know about future intentions (like academic goals, career plans) rather than social activities. Listing the school address is unnecessary as the school name is already there, telling more about summer parties (if they're just social) isn't helpful, and detailing social plans is also not what colleges look for. So the best change is to de - emphasize partying and talk more about future intentions.

Answer:

D. She should place less emphasis on partying and tell more about her future intentions.
