Everything you put on your college applications is important. Every last bit of it. You know why? Because colleges are looking for the best of the best and in order to do that, they need to read each application carefully. One student may have a killer essay but may have answered the questions on the application really poorly. Another student might have a lackluster essay but a really impressive application with detailed answers. It’s really hard to say what’s more important or most important, but it is possible to point out some aspects of a college application that definitely deserve some extra attention.
