The clock seems to tick a little louder as the Ivy League schools — Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, UPenn, and Columbia — all prepare to announce their admissions decisions. Here's what you should do next if you've been accepted, rejected, or waitlisted. You gave everything you had to create a strong application, so it's OK if you need some time and space. The school orchestra and sports teams need the right talent in the right positions. Perhaps less obvious priorities are in place, such as adding rural students to balance the extra-urban students admitted last year.

I'm a college-admissions expert; students panic when they don't get accepted during early decision. AdvertisementHere's what you need to know if you or your kid didn't get accepted during early decision. For many schools, institutional needs come firstMany colleges admit a higher percentage of applicants during early decision than in the regular decision round. Let's say a favorite college has a 10% acceptance rate during early decision but only a 5% acceptance rate during the regular decision period. You never know what institutional priorities a college has when reviewing your application.

I'm a college-admissions expert, and I know what helps teens most when applying to college. AdvertisementFill knowledge gaps firstWhen children begin a class with gaps in understanding, knowledge base, or critical skills, they struggle to keep up. If your teen or preteen has similar knowledge gaps, no amount of willpower or positive thinking will compensate. With regard to college admissions, please rethink this. When applying for college, teens do need to demonstrate academic competency.

As a college-prep expert, I've learned admissions officers are looking for memorable students. Instead, they should find their core values and work on projects that fit within those values. Recently, I've noticed a shift in what college-admissions officers are looking for in applications from students. Once a teen knows their core values, they can design a custom project that works to solve something violating those core values in their community. Each of these teens has a unique project that speaks directly to their core values — that also ignites their passion.
