In the college application world, many selective institutions will use the terms “strongly recommended” or “optional” when referring to the application materials, such as interviews, that accompany the main application. The main application most often consists of the Common App (or the school’s application), the school’s supplement, your transcript, standardized test scores (SAT/ACT), and recommendations.

Summer means something completely different for just about every high school student. Some students view summer as the time to finally relax from the pressures of the school year. Some go to summer camp at some random lake in the middle of nowhere, and some travel to other states or countries. Meanwhile, other students treat summer as the time to catch up to the math levels of students two grades above them, by taking summer courses. Yet another group of students believes it is the opportune moment to make some serious cash.

Among the various materials necessary for college applications, teacher recommendations seem the ones over which you have least control because you can’t directly produce them. However, you can bend the situation in your favor. The quality of your recommendations reflects your relationship skills. No matter how many laudatory sentences are written about you, if they contain no passion, admissions officers will detect the lack of enthusiasm.

If you invite someone out to dinner and really want to impress your guest, you would probably do dinner first and then something else to seal the deal, like dessert or a show. Then imagine that your "guest" is an admissions officer at X College or University and "dinner" represents your academic performance. Thousands of other applicants from across the nation and even across the globe either have grades that are similar to yours or even better.

As if filling out Common App forms, writing essays, taking standardized tests, and of course, maintaining good grades were not enough work, you also have the option of sending supplementary materials. "What are supplementary materials? " you ask. Supplementary materials can consist of examples or physical proof of a student's work and are completely optional as I have said above. The students who usually send such supplementary materials have a distinguished talent in a certain extracurricular discipline.
