Your College Application College admissions officers use the college application as a way to look at your past to get a clue about your future. The more information you can give them about the things you have accomplished and the skills you possess, the better you will look.
Some college applications are very simple.
They ask for your name, address and grade point average and that is about it. Others ask for one or two essays and a listing of your extra-curricular activities as well as your grade point average and test scores. The academic profile contains the data which measures the student. This will include class rank and grade point average, a listing of courses taken and grades earned, and SAT and ACT scores. Colleges want to know about your past schooling because the students they admit will be challenged academically.
