Students Can Relate

This comic shows how applying to college today can be a complicated and daunting task for high-school students. Navigating the admissions process can be as confusing as going through a maze.
Colleges' sneaky tactics of giving some students special treatment only further complicates the admissions process.

An Unfair Advantage

Welcome to The Admissions Game! This website is intended to inform you about today's complicated -- and sometimes unfair -- college admissions process. Teenagers in America today are expected to meet sometimes impossibly high expectations in order to be admitted to elite universities. Students work for years to achieve high grades and impressive test scores, while still being involved in extracurricular activities, in order to be considered for admission to their dream schools. However some students' hard work is rendered useless because of unfair admission processes.
Some universities give preferential treatment to minority students, legacy students, applicants from different states, men, and athletes. If a student is part of one of the previously mentioned groups, they may have an advantage while applying to college. My research paper investigates how these factors can affect students' applications.
